TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF TANF legal parent is participating in a strike on the last day of that month. Do not include the needs of other members who participate in a strike on the last day of a month. 8. Foster Care Recipients. Do not include these children or their income and resources, in the TANF case. 9. Adoption Subsidy Recipients. Do not include these children or their income and resources, in the TANF case,; unless inclusion in the assistance unit is a benefit to the household. Determine the benefit to include the child and their adoption subsidy and then compare a determination without the child and their adoption subsidy. For example, the parent receives $100 monthly adoption subsidy for one of two children. The TANF payment for 3 = $383 - $100 adoption subsidy, their monthly TANF benefit would be $283. Excluding the adopted child, the TANF payments for 2 = $318, a benefit to the family. However, in the same situation the adoption subsidy is $30 then it would be an advantage to include and count the adoption subsidy, $383 - $30 = $353. If the household chooses to exclude the child with the subsidized adoption and this is the only dependent child in the home, the household is ineligible because there is no eligible child in the household.
