DETERMINING PRE-STRIKE ELIGIBILITY General Households with striking members will not be eligible to participate in the TANF Program unless the household can show that immediately prior to the strike, it would have been eligible or was receiving TANF on the day prior to the strike. The first step in determining eligibility is PRESTRIKE eligibility. Therefore, all eligibility factors must have been met prior to the date of the strike. Assistance Unit In making this determination, consider all individuals who would have been in the assistance unit on the day prior to the strike, even if one of those individuals has moved or died. Income and Deductions Income and deductions for all who would have been in the assistance unit on the day prior to the strike must be calculated for the month in which the day prior to the strike falls. EXAMPLE: The strike begins on June 25; the day prior to the strike is June 24; therefore, PRESTRIKE eligibility is determined for June. EXAMPLE: The strike begins on June 1, the day prior to the strike is May 31, and therefore PRE-STRIKE eligibility is determined for May Resources Resources considered are those that were available to all assistance unit household members on the day prior to the strike. 6131 Volume III | Chapter 6
