Eligibility

Only applicants may be approved for SSG assistance. Current recipients of TANF are not eligible; this includes persons ineligible or disqualified from receipt of TANF. Households are ineligible for SSG during an IPV disqualification period. The applicant must verify all of the following factors and the case manager must document the case record accordingly before a family can receive an SSG payment. The case manager will assist in verification when requested by the family.

1. The following TANF non-financial eligibility requirements must be met:

 Household determination;  Citizenship;  Residency (Exception: Does not intend to reside in Nevada);  Age/relationship/domicile.

2. A family that is not eligible for TANF due to the time limit on assistance is

ineligible for SSG.

3. Does not exceed the TANF countable resource limit of $10,000.

4. Gross countable income of the family at the time of application cannot exceed

the TANF gross income limit of 130% of the Federal Poverty Level for the

applicable family size. Use actual income received in the month of application

and do not consider a best estimate of future income/earnings.

5. Applicants must be informed they are not eligible to receive TANF for the number

of months determined by dividing the SSG payment by the maximum TANF grant

for the family size at the time of payment. Any part of a month counts as a full

month. The ineligible period begins the month SSG is authorized. Applicants may

receive TANF prior to the end of the ineligible period if a hardship exists.
