3002.8 Re-Application after the Time Limit
Assistance will be denied to employable caretakers reapplying for benefits after the time limit has expired, unless the caretaker proves that grounds exist for an extension. Benefits will be provided to these families only in the pay-after-performance component, up to the federal maximum of sixty (60) cumulative months in the time-limited program (See DSSM 3002.9). DSS will conduct an assessment and notice the family prior to termination of benefits (See DSSM 3002.5). Families headed by unemployable caretakers can receive assistance under the Children's Program.
