A household applying for the TEMP Program who had a NEON case that was terminated/closed due to either non-cooperation with NEON Work Requirements or Child Support Enforcement, cannot use the case terminating/closing as a reason for an episode of need. This is considered a self-imposed situation and they are not eligible for the TEMP Program.

1020.3.2

Disposition

Benefit payments are limited to no more than four months per episode of need. An initial prorated payment in an amount equal to or greater than $10 counts as the first month.

The eligibility period will be limited to four months. The case manager may change the date to an earlier date, but not a later date. The system automatically ends Temporary benefits the first day of the last month of the eligibility period.
