GENERAL REQUIREMENTS


§ 4300.11. Waivers.

 (a)  The Secretary or a designee has the authority to waive this chapter. The Department may grant a waiver if the county program can demonstrate to the Department that a specific section of this chapter imposes an excessive financial burden on the county program, significantly interferes with the effective delivery of services or results in a situation where compliance is beyond the control of the county authority.

 (b)  Waiver requests shall be submitted in writing by the county to the Secretary or a designee. The request shall identify the specific section, subsection, paragraph or subparagraph to be waived, the period of time for which the waiver is requested, the justification for the waiver, and available documentation that may substantiate the need for the waiver.

 (c)  Waiver requests shall be submitted by the county and, if approved, waivers shall be granted to the county. Contract agencies may initiate the waiver process by submitting a request for review by the county and, with its endorsement, subsequent submission by the county to the Department.
