3002 Time Limit, Temporary Welfare Program

Cash benefits will be time-limited for households headed by two employable adults age 18 or older who are included in the grant. For households applying on or after 01/01/2000, the lifetime time limit will be thirty-six (36) cumulative months. Time limits apply when three conditions are met: • the caretaker is included in the grant, • the caretaker is age 18 or older, • the caretaker is employable, and When one or more of the conditions listed above is not met, the family receives benefits in the non-time limited program known as the Children’s Program. During the time-limited period, employable adult recipients will receive full cash benefits only as long as they fulfill their Contract of Mutual Responsibility and they are meeting the minimum weekly hours of required employment and training activities. Periodic Alerts to Families Regarding Time Remaining before the Family Reaches the Time Limit The Division will track the time remaining before a family’s time limits expire and alert the family. The Division will notify families on a quarterly basis of the time they have remaining before the time limits expire. 14 DE Reg. 1073 (04/01/11)
