TANF MOE-Funded Services In addition to CalWORKs recipients, this section details additional programs that meet one or more of the four purposes of TANF and are funded with federal TANF funds and/or qualify as state MOE expenditures. TANF MOE-funded services include, but are not limited to: State-Subsidized Child Care and Development Programs: Programs serve children and families meeting specific eligibility criteria including families who are very low income, are homeless or whose children are at risk of being abused, neglected, or exploited. As provided in the state’s annual Budget Act, exclusively for the purposes of determining qualified MOE expenditures in CDSS’ subsidized child care and development programs, an “eligible family” is one with a child(ren) living with a parent or other adult caretaker relative who is financially needy under the CalWORKs income standards established by the State.

Student or student’s family must have a total income in the base year, that is equal to or less than 150% of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines based on family size.

Fee Waiver Part D: Student is homeless, student has received the Congressional Medal of Honor or is the dependent of a recipient; student is a dependent of a September 11, 2001 terrorist attack victim; student is a dependent of a
