When a household includes a child identified as a Benefit Cap child, the Benefit Cap child is added as an eligible member to the household but the TANF benefit will not be increased to meet the financial needs of that child. The Benefit Cap child will have an "IN" participation code and be treated as such for all other program participation. The TANF Basic Standard of Need will include the needs of the Benefit Cap child when determining eligibility. However, the financial needs of the Benefit Cap child are removed from the final grant amount.
