Purpose


The purpose of this rule development is to incorporate pertinent information from Rules 6A-20.051, 6A-20.052, and 6A-20.053 into 6A-20.050 and then later repeal Rules 6A-20.051, 6A-20.052, and 6A-20.053. Rule 6A-20.050 will clarify the following: A program applicant must be a certified nurse performing nursing duties full-time; full-time status is based upon the combination of all qualifying employment that exceeds an average of 35 hours per week; Late initial applications will not be processed; however, applicants who meet eligibility requirements are provided an option to reapply for participation; Renewal application submission timeframes are provided; and Payments are made directly to program participants’ loan holders for participants’ loans that are not in default. The effect will be one rule consistent with governing law.
