1186 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples Example 6: Kevin lives with his grandmother and grandfather, who currently receive a NNCR grant. Kevin’s biological mother, Tiffany, moves in along with her other son Justin. Tiffany is currently receiving a TANF grant for herself and Justin. Tiffany does not have care, control, and supervision of Kevin. The family will need to determine which grant will be most beneficial. The family is deciding whether Kevin’s grandparents keep the NNCR grant or Tiffany keeps her grant with Justin. The NNCR grant: Because Tiffany is in the home she would be included in the filing group with her child Kevin, and Kevin’s brother, Justin. Tiffany is included in the financial group and her income would also count against the NNCR grant. Tiffany’s TANF grant: Because Kevin is Tiffany’s biological son and Justin’s brother, he is included in the filing group. Any income he receives would be counted. He would not be in the benefit group because Tiffany is not considered to be the caretaker for Kevin. TANF No-adult Example 1: Grandma Betty is applying for a non-needy caretaker relative grant for her grandson, Christopher. Betty also lives with her husband, Ralph and foster child Gary. Gary is not included in the adjusted household group for the benefit calculation. ERDC Example 1: Caretaker away for Employment Cora is applying for ERDC benefits. She reports that her husband, Paul, is currently working in California. Though Paul is away for employment reasons, they continue to present as a family unit and plan to live together again once his work situation allows. Paul is included in the ERDC household. He will be counted in the ERDC EDG in ONE and his income will be counted in calculating copay. As a two-parent household, only overlapping work hours will be authorized. Example 2: Caretaker away to care for individuals emergent need related to illness Clarissa is applying for ERDC benefits. She is working full time and her husband, Sam, has been staying home with the children. Sam left to help his grandmother while she is selling her home and moving to an assisted- living facility. They do not know how long it will take for Sam to return home. Sam is not receiving any payment or reimbursement for his time. The family is not eligible for ERDC, because Sam is still part of the household and considered available to provide care.
