Example: The family’s TEA payment is two hundred four dollars
($204) per month. The absent parent is paying two hundred twenty
dollars ($220) per month in child support. The Office of Child
Support Enforcement is sending the participant sixteen dollars
($16.00). It would be to the family’s benefit to close the TEA case
and receive the child support in full. The time limit clock would stop
at this point. If the family reapplies in the future, the time limit will
pick up from where it previously ended.
(d)(1) Whichever option is chosen, the caseworker should redetermine the family’s Medicaid eligibility.
(2) The family may be eligible for three (3) months of extended Medicaid due to child support income or may be eligible in another Medicaid category.
