SB 6367: Public assistance limitation

Limiting public assistance for persons living in Washington state for less than twelve months.

Summary

  • Public assistance is limited, for those residing in Washington for less than one year, to the amount of assistance that would have been received from a similar program in the state of most recent residence, if less than the amount paid in Washington. The Department of Social and Health Services surveys other states' public assistance levels, and adopts, by rule, a scale of assistance based on "state of origin."
