Reduced copay (RCP) for TANF-ERDC transition cases When an ERDC case is opened, the individual’s copay is calculated by the system based on the EDG size and countable income. When a family requests ERDC within 90 days of closure of their TANF case, ONE will bypass the usual copay calculation and enter a $0 copay amount for the three months of reduced copay eligibility. Eligibility for the reduced copay depends on three factors: • The family meets all ERDC eligibility criteria and is approved. • The family has transitioned off TANF due to employment. and • The family has requested ERDC within 90 days of closure of TANF. If the applicant requests ERDC within 90 days of TANF closure, their number of months to receive the reduced copay is dependent on the date of request (DOR). There are no restrictions on how many times a participant may access the reduced copay after transitioning from TANF. The reduced copay ends after the third month of receipt or in the following circumstances: • When the participant requests TANF benefits, or • When the participant becomes ineligible for ERDC.
