Maine LD1178 expedites the process for determining if a municipality illegally moved a person to avoid general assistance support.
Maine LD1178 aims to expedite the process involving municipalities that illegally move a person to avoid responsibility for general assistance support. The bill reduces the time the Department of Health and Human Services has to determine if a municipality has illegally moved an individual from 60 to 30 working days. It also shortens the appeals period from 60 to 30 days after the determination is made. The bill creates a rebuttable presumption that if a municipality moves a person to another municipality, it did so to avoid paying general assistance.
