This bill mandates the Commissioner of Human Services to create a system ensuring that funding for support services provided to beneficiaries of General Assistance cash benefits is terminated when the beneficiary exits the service. Specifically, it applies to funding distributed by the Division of Family Development or county welfare agencies to providers of substance use disorder treatment or housing. The bill emphasizes that funding should cease on the date the beneficiary is discharged or stops receiving services.

Additionally, the bill grants the commissioner the authority to verify the cessation of services by contacting either the provider or the beneficiary. It also allows the commissioner to require providers to repay any funds received for beneficiaries who have been discharged or are no longer receiving services. This legislative change aims to streamline the funding process and ensure that resources are allocated appropriately based on the beneficiaries' current status.
