TANF Eligibility Workers shall review the monthly report when received to determine if all questions have been answered and all necessary verifications are attached.   

Note: Lack of information for income and expenses for the prospective month does not constitute an incomplete Monthly Report for TANF.

 

If the monthly report fails to include verification of work-related child or dependent care, the report is considered complete but the child and dependent care disregard will not be allowed.

 

The TANF Eligibility Worker shall use the completed monthly report to determine eligibility and the proper amount of the monthly benefit. Each household shall be notified of any changes from the prior notice and the basis for the new determination. This notice must reach the household no later than the date they would normally receive a benefit and shall serve as the adequate notice of any decision based on information reported by the household on the monthly report.

 

With few exceptions benefit changes that are not based on information supplied on the monthly report must be preceded by an advance (10-day) notice. (See Section 400-19-115-10, Advance (10-Day) and Adequate Notice Requirements.)
