Sec.8-273-42. Statement of purpose

The purpose of sections 8-273-42 through 8-273-45 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies is to establish procedures for the implementation of the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act (URAA). These procedures govern the manner in which the Department of Transportation processes applications for relocation assistance and are aimed at achieving the following objectives:

(a) To ensure that payments and assistance authorized by the URAA shall be administered in a manner which is fair and reasonable, and as uniform as practicable;

(b) To ensure that a displaced person who makes proper application for a payment authorized for such person by the URAA shall be paid promptly after a move or, in hardship cases, be paid in advance; and,

(c) To ensure that any person aggrieved by a determination as to eligibility for a payment authorized by the URAA, or the amount of a payment, may have his application reviewed by the Commissioner of Transportation.

(Effective September 28, 1987)
