The head-of-household shall take every reasonable action to ensure the child is not at risk of failing to advance to the next grade level in school. If the head-of-household does not comply with the provisions of NRS 392.040 or the Division learns the child is at risk of failing to advance to the next grade level, the case manager will require the head-of-household to review and revise the Personal Responsibility Plan (PRP) as necessary to assist the head-of-household in complying and with helping the child improve academic performance. Minor parents in the household must attend educational activities directed toward the attainment of a high school diploma or its equivalent or an alternative educational program such as a vocational or technical school. A head-of-household receiving assistance that does not comply with the school attendance requirements has failed to comply with the terms of the PRP and may be conciliated.

Immunizations For TANF Child-Only and TANF-NEON assistance households, and as required under NRS 422A.332, the head-of-household must ensure each assisted dependent child has received the standard immunizations established by the Nevada State Health Division. The case manager advises applicants/recipients of the availability of standard immunizations through the public health clinics. Within 6 months of determination of eligibility the head-of-household must submit to the Division proof that each dependent child receiving assistance has received the standard immunizations. In compliance with NRS 432A.240 and 250, an exemption may be granted if: • A written statement signed by a licensed physician is provided indicating medical conditions prohibit immunizations, or • A written statement signed by the child’s caregiver is submitted stating immunizations are contrary to their religious belief. A head-of-household receiving assistance that does not meet an exemption and does not comply with the immunization requirements has failed to comply with the terms of the PRP and assistance may be denied or terminated.
