Sec. 531.752. ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMUNITY-BASED NAVIGATOR PROGRAM. If the executive commissioner determines that a statewide community-based navigator program can be established and operated using existing resources and without disrupting other commission functions, the commission shall establish a statewide community-based navigator program through which the commission will train and certify as navigators volunteers and other representatives of faith- and community-based organizations to assist individuals applying or seeking to apply online for public assistance benefits through the Texas Integrated Eligibility Redesign System (TIERS) or any other electronic eligibility system that is linked to or made a part of that system. In establishing the navigator program, the commission shall solicit the expertise and assistance of interested persons, including faith- and community-based organizations, and may establish a work group or other temporary, informal group of interested persons to provide input and assistance.
