Pay after Performance Individuals are:

1. Eligible caretakers of dependent children to whom they are related within the 5th degree;
2. Children ages 16-18 and not attending school fulltime.

Note: Children who are subject to Pay After Performance Requirements are given a participation code of ‘OU’. A referral is not made to the Child Support Division until the child meets the Work Requirement and is determined eligible for TANF. Any child support received by the Child Support Division on behalf of that child during the period the child is ‘OU’ due to Pay After Performance requirements will be released to the household and must be counted as income.

 

Pay After Performance Individuals:

1. Must meet the TANF Up-front eligibility requirements; and
2. Must meet all non-financial and financial factors of eligibility; and
3. Must have their income and assets considered in determining eligibility for the household; and
4. Must participate in the JOBS Program, unless determined to be exempt, excluded, or have ‘good cause’ for failure or refusal to comply from participation; and
5. Must cooperate, if required to do so, with the Child Support Division in obtaining child support or establishing paternity for any child member of the family; and
6. Are ineligible for their portion of the TANF grant for four (4) months, beginning the month of application, unless they meet the work participation requirements, as determined by the JOBS Employment Contractor.

 

While individuals who are subject to PAP are included in the TANF Basic Standard of Need calculation when determining eligibility during the first four months, their financial needs will be deducted from the grant. During the first four (4) months, the financial needs of the individual will be paid as a supplement only after the JOBS Employment Contractor has advised the TANF Eligibility Worker that the individual has met their work participation requirements for the month.  

Note: The JOBS Employment Contractor must provide verification, on a monthly basis, as to whether or not the individual has met their work participation requirements for the month.

• If the verification indicates the individual met the work participation requirements for the month, that month’s benefits will be reprocessed and a supplemental payment issued to meet the individual’s financial needs.
• If the verification indicates the individual did not meet the work participation requirements for the month, the individual is not eligible to have their financial needs met for the month.  

Note: If the individual did not meet the work participation requirements during the month, the JOBS Employment Contractor should have initiated the ‘good cause’ determination process.

 

Beginning the 5th month, PAP requirements no longer apply. If the individual continues to comply with all requirements of the TANF program, the individual’s financial needs will be included in the TANF benefit.
