Lots to review this time!! Many of the changes below are new worker guides. There were numerous worker guides in the old eligibility manual that we had not yet incorporated into the new manual. There are still a few more that you may see appear in the next few months. Any suggestions for further additions or improvements are welcome.
There were many minor rule changes that are not included below. AFS has been working on a "clean-up" of the rules. Please refer to the AFS Administrative Rules Manual (letter #11)for a list of all the changes.
