ESA Policy Manual
Wednesday, January 9, 2019
The D.C. Department of Human Services (DHS) ESA Policy Manual provides official instructions and the guiding principles for the implementation of ESA (formerly Income Maintenance Administration (IMA)) programs, other than SNAP, to the extent that the policies have not been superseded by law, regulation, policy memoranda, or updates to procedures. The Manual provides front-line operations staff with clear, consistent policy standards for providing services. Information on SNAP in the ESA Combined Policy Manual is no longer operative.
