• Transitional Child Care 24 (TCC24) • Transitional Child Care – Full Family Sanction (TCC/FS). Note: Each year of Transitional Child Care will receive 12 months of eligibility. Federal Time Limits A client is not eligible for child care services when their TANF closes due to Federal Time Limits.

TWO-PARENT FAMILY In a two-parent family one parent must be working at least part-time (15 – 24 hours per week). Travel time is also added when determining the number of hours worked per week. See Establishing the Need for Child Care Services. The parent can also attend school in conjunction with work. The second parent must be working or going to school at least part-time or have a verified disability. If one or both parents work or attend school or training part-time, only part-time child care will be given. Full Time: 25 or more hours per week. Full time is determined by number of hours worked plus travel time of 5 hours per week (more travel time may be used if determined necessary. See Travel Time). Example: Client works 20 hours per week. 20 hours of work plus 5 hours of travel = 25 hours which equals full time eligibility.

Part-time: 15 -24 hours per week Part time is determined by number of hours worked plus travel time of 5 hours per week (more travel time may be used if determined necessary. See Travel Time). Example: Client works 15 hours per week. 15 hours of work plus 5 hours of travel = 20 hours which equals part time eligibility. NOTE: A family household unit where one parent works at least part-time and the other attends only school is eligible to apply for such assistance.

2.7 TRANSITIONAL CHILD CARE 1 (TCC1) Availability for TCC1 begins the first month of TANF benefit ineligibility. The child care eligibility worker will use the TANF/SNAP database to determine that the TANF benefit case has been closed for a transitional closure reason. To receive child care through this category, the individual must: • Be closed from TANF due to earned income exceeding the TANF income guidelines or due to voluntary withdrawal due to earned income as indicated by closure code VE.
