All administrative rules in the state of Minnesota are codified by chapter in Minnesota Rules. Rules of the Department of Human Services begin at Chapter 9500 and end at Chapter 9585. Each chapter has rule parts and each rule part has an eight-digit part number (e.g., part 9506.0010). Typically, a series of rule parts all relating to the same matter is referred to as a rule and is identified by the beginning and ending eight-digit numbers in the series of rule parts (e.g., Minnesota Rules, parts 9506.0010 to 9506.0400 govern how the MinnesotaCare program is administered.)
DHS also has an informal numbering system for rules. For example, parts 9506.0010 to 9506.0400 are known informally as “Rule 100”. DHS informal rule numbers and their corresponding eight-digit part numbers are as follows:
DHS' informal number system has caused confusion among many people who are not familiar with it. To help translate what informal number corresponds to which rule number, the rules conversion chart was developed below.
On the left-hand side, you will see the informal rule number. To the right of the colon, you will see the official rule number and the rule's title. The informal rule numbers are listed in numeric order.
