PROGRAM ACRONYMS

461-101-0010
Program Acronyms and Overview
(1) Acronyms are frequently used when
referring to a program. There is an acronym for each umbrella program and acronyms
for each subprogram.
(2) When no program acronym
appears in a rule in chapter 461 of these rules, the rule with no program acronym
applies to all programs listed in this rule. If a rule does not apply to all programs,
the rule uses program acronyms to identify the programs to which the rule applies.
(3) Wherever an umbrella
acronym appears, that means the rule covers all the subprograms under that code.

are not eligible for other medical programs solely because they do not meet citizenship
