TANF, Children on TP 32 and Children on TP 56

The resources of an SSI recipient living in the home, even when the resources are available to the TANF-certified member or Medical Programs household member, are exempt if:

the SSI recipient would otherwise be a certified member in the TANF or Medical Programs EDG;

the SSI recipient would otherwise be someone whose income is: applied to the TANF budget; or included in the Medical Programs household composition; or

a TANF-certified or disqualified person or member of the Medical Programs household composition is the SSI recipient's payee.

This policy applies to:

people who continue to receive SSI Medicaid when their SSI financial assistance is denied because of earnings; and

children who receive SSI Medicaid that the person chooses not to include in the TANF-certified group.

If other SSI recipients live in the home and contribute to a member of the TANF-certified group, disqualified group or Medical Programs household composition, follow policy for cash gifts and contributions.
