The Division may select a protective payee to receive and manage the TANF benefit if the caregiver is not using the TANF payments for the children's benefit. An Alternate Payee (SPEC BAP) is used to set up the protective payee. For a TANF NEON or TANF Child-Only case when EBT Restricted Use is identified, see manual section B-200 regarding the establishment of a protective payee to receive and manage the benefits. Note: Lack of sufficient income is not a reason to use protective payments. A social worker will review the household circumstances and work with the caregiver to establish the protective payee. The protective payee must be someone who can help the recipient spend the TANF benefit properly. The recipient must agree to the person designated as the protective payee. Exception: If a social worker employed by the DWSS or (DCFS) designates a protective payee, use that individual whether the recipient agrees or not. SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP 6.
