§ 26-2-124 — Reconsideration and changes

(1) All assistance payments and
social services provided under this article shall be reconsidered as frequently as
and in the manner required by rules and regulations of the state department. After
such further verification and record as the county department may deem necessary
or the rules and regulations of the state department may require, the amount of
assistance payments or the social services provided may be changed, or public
assistance may be terminated, if the state department or the county department
finds that the recipient's circumstances have altered sufficiently to warrant such
action or if changes in state or federal law have been made which would warrant
such action.

(2) In accordance with the rules and regulations of the state department, the
county department may terminate public assistance at any time for cause, or it may,
for cause, suspend public assistance for such period as it may deem proper. Timely
notice to persons receiving public assistance, when in fact they are not eligible due
to fraudulent acts, may be given five days before the date of a proposed action, in
accordance with federal regulations.

(3) Whenever assistance payments are terminated, suspended, or in any way
changed, the county department shall at once report such decision to the recipient
and to the state department setting forth the reason for such action. All such
decisions shall be subject to review by the state department in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the state department.
