RESIDENCE

For purposes of TANF, residents of the State of Mississippi are individuals who are voluntarily living in Mississippi with the intention of making their home here. In other words, residence is based on the concept of intent to reside and a permanent mailing address is not required. See Chapter 3, Introduction, and Residence.

ROLLOVER

Rollover occurs on the 23rd of the month unless the 23rd falls on a weekend or holiday, then rollover is the Friday before. At rollover, MAVERICS “rolls” into the next month, and the current system month changes. All cases with an authorized benefit will be copied exactly into the new month, with an authorized benefit at the same level as the previous month. This is also referred to as “payroll”. See Chapter 9, TANF Work Activities Defined.

SANCTION

Termination or reduction of benefits when the individual did not have good cause for failing to participate in the TANF Work Program, Child Support Enforcement, school attendance, immunization, reporting household changes or other requirements. See Chapter 3, Child Support, School Attendance, Immunization, Chapter 7, Changes, and Chapter 9, Adverse Action.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE POLICY

Dependent children in the TANF budget ages 6 to 18 must attend school satisfactorily until high school graduation or completion of a GED. See Chapter 3, School Attendance.
