Revised 03-01-20
Refer to TWP Exemption Time Limits, earlier in this chapter, and the exemption chart in Chapter 8, Determining Eligibility for Participation in TWP, for additional and more detailed information.
TANF HIGH COUNTERS REPORTS
The TANF High Counters Reports, TANF 24/60 Month High Counter Report (JC252A) and TWP JJ/JV Exemption High Counter Report (JC253B) are monthly MAVERICS reports that are generated the third of each month. The reports track high counter information for the TANF 24 and 60-month time limits, and the TWP 12-month exemption time limits for JJ and JV. The counters for the 60-month, JJ/12-month exemption and JV/12-month exemption time limits run one (1) month behind the current calendar month. The counter for the 24-month time limit runs two (2) months behind the current calendar month.
Any case subject to the TANF time limits and/or the TWP exemption time limits will initially display on the report(s) when one of the counters reaches high counter status, and will remain on the report(s) until the TANF case closes.
TANF 24/60 Month High Counter Report
The 24/60 Month High Counter Report will list TANF recipients who have reached at least 19 months on the 24-month counter and/or 40 months on the 60-month counter.
TWP JJ/JV Exemption High Counter Report
The TWP JJ/JV Exemption High Counter Report will list TANF recipients who have used at least 9 months of the JJ/12-month exemption time limit and/or the JV/12-month exemption time limit.
County Level Reviews
Caseworkers must complete a monthly desk review of each case listed on the TANF High Counters Reports (TANF 24/60 Month High Counter Report-JC252A and TWP JJ/JV Exemption High Counter Report-JC253B) by the 10th of each month and schedule face-to-face interviews for all new adults appearing on the report in accordance with the policy outlined in this section.
The Case Documentation (CADO) screen in MAVERICS must be documented each month for all cases displaying on the TANF High Counters Reports. (The CADO subject line should be used to identify the TANF counter(s) reviewed along with the counter status, e.g., 60-Month Counter Review at 40 Months; 24-Month Counter Review at 19 Months, etc.)
