Laws-Rules-Policies for the Emergency Assistance Program

NH Statutes

State statutes are created by the New Hampshire Legislature and are published in the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated and serve as legal authority for DHHS.

Title Xll, Public Safety & Welfare, RSA 161, Human Services
Title Xll, Public Safety and Welfare, RSA 167, Public Assistance to Blind, Aged, or Disabled Persons, and to Dependent Children

NH Code of Administrative Rules

NH Code of Administrative Rules is promulgated by state agencies under the Administrative Procedure Act (RSA 541-A). State Administrative Rules are used to specify the implementation of a statute and have the full force and effect of law.

Financial Assistance and Eligiblity for Medical Care, Chapter He-W 600

DHHS Policies

Policies are used as administrative guidelines to assist DHHS staff in implementing programs and services. They are intended to help clients and the public better understand DHHS programs and procedures. Unlike statutes and administrative rules, policies are not laws and do not have the force and effect of laws.
