NOTE: A recipient who is permanently and totally disabled will be included in CARES regardless of their ability to work or participate full-time. A case in which an individual works full-time even though they are totally and permanently disabled would continue in the CARES Program. The medical incapacity is subject to reevaluation at intervals that are specific to each recipient's circumstances, at a minimum, at annual redetermination. This interval is dependent on what has been determined by the doctor or other health professional and what is documented on the DSS Form 1247, Medical Release/Physician's Statement or other verification which is completed and signed by a physician. NOTE: Support services funds may be used to pay to have medical forms completed for a participant in the TANF Program once they have been determined eligible and have been participating in the CARES Program. NOTE: Child care services may be provided to comply with the Family Plan as agreed upon by the TANF CM. The TANF CM must notify the child care worker if there is a change in medical capacity. TANF-CARES child care authorization will be 12 months (52 weeks) at a time. If child care assistance is needed, the TANF CM will send the TANF child care unit via the ABC Mailbox in SCOSA the DSS Form 1269, Request for Support Services, and the DSS Form 3791, Child Care Scholarship Program Application, and other documentation as appropriate to request child care.
