■ ■ ■ ■ TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF The protective payee cannot be: ● a Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) employee; ● a person who provides DHHS services directly to the family; or ● a landlord, grocer or any person selling goods or services to the recipient. Note: TANF for all unmarried minor parents and their children, required to live in an adult-supervised living arrangement, may be paid by protective payments, (whenever a protective payee can be established). The protective payment is issued to the head of the adult-supervised living arrangement, i.e., foster parent, maternity home, authorized representative, etc. A protective payee may also be established for a minor parent receiving assistance as the head of household in their own case who has been granted a good cause exception to the living arrangement requirement. Reevaluate the need for the protective payee at each RD. For cases with a DCFS- requested protective payee, contact DCFS at each RD before terminating the protective payee. For cases that have required a protective payee for more than two years, refer the case to DCFS for judicial appointment of a guardian or legal representative.
