113.61 Determining Corrective Payments

When the strike ends within a month, the CAO must issue a corrective payment to the following:

An applicant who chose not to get benefits and reapplies after the strike is over

NOTE : The CAO must use the original application date to begin benefits.

A recipient budget group that chose to stop benefits because of the strike and is no longer striking on the last day of the calendar month of discontinuance

NOTE: The CAO must not prorate the monthly assistance payment but must grant it for the entire month.

Example: Mr. and Mrs. Ralph got TANF benefits for themselves and their two children. Mr. Ralph goes on strike August 8. Since the strike will probably last several months, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph ask that their budget stop, rather than risk an overpayment. The Advance Notice is waived. The budget ends, effective August 21. The strike ends on August 23. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph reapply for benefits on August 27. The budget is reopened, effective August 21.
