DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

Division:

Economic Self-Sufficiency Program

Chapter:

TEMPORARY CASH ASSISTANCE

Overview

RULE:

65A-4.203

Personal Care of a Disabled Family Member

PURPOSE:

The proposed rule amendment is required to comply with federal regulations issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, to implement the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families provisions of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. The rule amendment will clarify when a parent or caretaker relative who is totally responsible for the care of a disabled family member is excluded from participation in work activities in accordance with 45 CFR 261.2(n)(2)(i), and is exempt from the time limit under the Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) program.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule amendment will provide clarification that full-time school attendance by a disabled family member will be considered an “alternative care arrangement” and as such, a parent or caretaker relative will not receive a time limit exemption under the TCA program. It also provides for a form revision to reflect the policy change.
