To provide the information necessary for action in conformity with all relevant legal requirements in the CSSA's relationship with the client; 2. To provide an adequate and accurate source of information for the DMAHS and Federal staff for statistical studies or other research purposes that will be statistical in nature and include no beneficiary's names; and 3. As an essential tool in supervision. History HISTORY: Amended by R.2017 d.209, effective December 4, 2017. See: 49 N.J.R. 1789(a), 49 N.J.R. 3729(a).
