THIRD-PARTY RESOURCE DISQUALIFICATION FIP Restrict payments when the grantee is disqualified for failing to identify a third-party resource; see BEM 257. Use a protective payee, if possible. Exception: The disqualified grantee may continue to receive warrants for the child(ren) as an ineligible grantee if: • No suitable protective payee is found, despite all reasonable efforts; and • Prolonging the search might be detrimental to the child(ren). Note such a circumstance on the DHS-1171; the DHS-223, Docu- mentation Record; or other appropriate document for placement in the Eligibility Packet of the case record. Minor Parent Grantee FIP Restrict payments (via protective payee, if possible) when the eligi- ble group consists of a minor parent grantee and his/her depen- dent child who live: • With the minor parent's legal guardian or other adult relative, or • In an adult-supervised living arrangement (for example, foster care). If possible, the payee should be the responsible adult in the home (such as, relative, legal guardian, or designated staff of the adult- supervised living arrangement). BEM 201 defines and explains these circumstances.
