Iowa’s TANF State Plan: Attachments

(ii) Refer such individuals to counseling and supportive services; and

(iii)Waive, pursuant to a determination of good cause, other program requirements such as time limits (for as long as necessary) for individuals receiving assistance, residency requirements, child support cooperation requirements, and family cap provisions, in cases where compliance with such requirements would make it more difficult for individuals receiving assistance under this part to escape domestic violence or unfairly penalize such individuals who are or have been victimized by such violence, or individuals who are at risk of further domestic violence.

(Refer to (a)(7) of the TANF State Plan for details on implementation of these waivers in Iowa.)

Note: Iowa does not have a family cap provision. In addition, Iowa has never treated families moving into Iowa from another state differently than other families under its TANF programs, even prior to the United States Supreme Court decision: Rita L. Saenz, Director, California Department of Social Services, et al., Petitioners v. Brenda Roe and Anna Doe, etc., 119 S.Ct. 1518 (1999), which prohibits such treatment. Waivers are therefore not applicable to these provisions.
