011 TIME LIMIT FOR AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN.

Aid to Dependent Children recipient families that include an adult or minor parent who meets the definition of a work-eligible individual are subject to the time limit, unless otherwise exempt. Families subject to the time limit may receive an Aid to Dependent Children for which they are eligible for a total of 60 months in a lifetime. The 60- month lifetime limit begins with the first month the family is determined to be eligible for and receives Aid to Dependent Children. When one parent in a two- parent household reaches their 60-month lifetime limit, the result will be the loss of Aid to Dependent Children for the entire family. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families received from another state will apply towards the family’s 60- month lifetime limit. The benefit state’s policies will determine which months count towards the federal 60-month lifetime limit.
