1196 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples Example 2: On May 25, Marcus applies for TANF for himself and his daughter, Bethany, who is receiving TANF on a non-needy caretaker relative grant with her grandmother. This report is considered questionable, as Marcus had previously reported having his daughter in his care when he did not. The worker pends for verification that Bethany lives with Marcus. This is received May 31. The grandmother’s worker sends a 10-day notice removing Bethany from the TANF case, effective June 30. Marcus receives TANF for himself only for May 31 through June 30. Bethany is added July 1. Example 3: Tracy applies for TANF for her son Brody on May 16. During the intake process it was determined that Brody is currently in foster care. The worker contacts Tracy’s Child Welfare worker and confirmed foster care payments are currently being paid on Brody’s behalf, and that the family has a reunification plan for Brody to return to Tracy’s household on the 28th of May. Tracy is eligible for a parent only TANF grant from her fling date as Brody’s expected return date from foster care is within 30 days from the fling date. On May 28th the Family Coach confirms that Brody has returned home, and Tracy would like benefits for him. They update the benefit request date for Brody to May 28th and mark him as in the household and not temp away due to foster care. The system issues a supplement for Brody’s benefits from May 28th to May 31st. Example 4: On Aug. 2, Jonas applies for TANF for himself and his two children. It is not questionable that the children are in Jonas’ care as he has primary custody and provides care, control and supervision during the school year. His two children are currently receiving TANF on their mother’s case in California. The worker in California is closing TANF for the children Aug. 30. Jonas may receive TANF through the end of August on his own. His children will be added to his case effective Sept. 1. Example 5: Nadia and her 2 children are receiving TANF. Nadia receives a Social Security check each month. Part of the check is SSB but the other part is SSI. The mother’s SSB would not count toward the children’s TANF grant because, due to the SSI, she is not in the financial group and none of her income is counted for TANF. Example 6: Albert receives TANF for himself and his child Charles, but his daughter Cynthia is on SSI. The children have different mothers. Cynthia, of whom receives SSI, also received child support from her mother. The child support does not count toward the TANF grant of the father and the other child.
