TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF an assessment which must be completed prior to making a good cause determination; d. The physical or emotional health or safety of the minor or their child would be in jeopardy if they live with the minor’s parents. Refer the minor to a Division social worker for an assessment which must be completed prior to making a good cause determination; e. The minor has lived apart from their parent(s) for at least one year prior to the birth of their child and has not applied for TANF during that same time period; f. There is “good cause” for the minor not residing with their parent(s) as determined by the case manager and approved by a Division social worker for a reason not already listed. A court-ordered emancipation in and of itself is not considered “good cause,” but may be taken into consideration when determining “good cause.” (Per NRS 129.130, a public agency can request a court-ordered emancipation be voided if the minor becomes indigent and has insufficient means of support.) If an emancipated minor does not meet the criteria specified above, and the emancipated order has not been voided, they may be classified as head of household. 325 EMANCIPATED MINOR A person under age 18 who has been married and the marriage has not been annulled. When a minor parent is married, they are no longer a dependent child and are ineligible in their parent's assistance unit and responsible parent deeming does not apply. If a child under age 18 has been emancipated by a court decree and is living with any parent, adult relative or child who is a sibling, provide a copy of the emancipation decree to the Chief of Eligibility and Payments, and the minor will be considered an eligible household member as of the date of the application. The decree will be sent to the Deputy Attorney General, who will petition the district court to reverse it. Per NRS 129.130, a public agency may request a court-ordered emancipation be voided if the minor becomes indigent and has insufficient means of support. 326 TEMPORARY ABSENCE OF CHILD 326.1 Temporary Absence of Child Do not reduce or terminate ongoing TANF benefits when a child is temporarily out of the home due to: ● School attendance or vocational training (i.e., Job Corps) away from home (includes summer vacations).  Illness, injury or hospitalization, if verification is received the child is expected to return home within 180 days. ● Temporary placement for rehabilitation (absence is limited to 90 days). ● On vacation/visiting out-of-state for no longer than 90days. The relative caregiver must continue to maintain a home and exercise responsibility for care and control of the child and continue to cooperate in establishing continued eligibility. The case manager must verify the absent household member is not receiving assistance in another state.
