A child may reside with a legally responsible relative whose needs are excluded from the TANF benefit because the individual is:

1. An ineligible Alien;
2. Disqualified for fraud due to an intentional program violation,
3. Disqualified for being a fleeing felon;
4. Disqualified for having a drug felony;  
5. Disqualified due to parole or probation violation;
6. Disqualified due to non-participation in the JOBS Program; or
7. Disqualified for non-cooperation with the Child Support Division,

 

The TANF benefit is intended to meet the needs of all eligible individuals in the TANF household. In the instance of an individual whose needs are deleted from the unit for one of these reasons, that individual's income and assets must be considered when determining eligibility for the remaining eligible household members. The income disregards and employment incentives are allowed for the income of the individual who has been disqualified.
