| The Connecticut Department of Social Services' (DSS) Uniform
Policy Manual (UPM, also know as UPMOP) constitutes a portion of the official
regulations of the Department. The UPM covers, in great detail and considerable
length, all the public assistance programs, including Medicaid, administered by DSS.
sharinglaw.net has the
UPM available, but Connecticut Legal Services, Inc. cannot guarantee it will be the most
updated version.
Also, the Connecticut Bar Association now
makes the UPM available for its members through its Casemaker service.
To obtain your own full and free copy of the
UPM on CD-Rom, send a request to:
Ms. Sallie Kolreg
Department of Social Services
25 Sigourney Street
Hartford, CT 06106
telephone: 860.424.5371
Instructions for installing this material on
your computer will be sent to you. This material will take up a significant amount
of space on your computer, as much as 70 megabytes. When installed the UPM will have
10 directories and hundreds of files.
The UPM is being updated on an ongoing and
unpredictable basis. As a result you may want to establish a system of requests.
If you have previously installed the UPM on your computer
and are downloading a newer version, it is advisable to delete the old copy from your
computer prior to downloading the new version. Otherwise when you attempt to expand
the newer version, you will be asked, a few thousand times, "Do you wish to
overwrite?" the older version.
At present, DSS prepares this material only in Microsoft
Word 97 format. This permits it to be used on most, but not all, computers.
