F. Funding

If parents meet the eligibility criteria for Transitional Child Care, transitional funding must be used except in situations where notification of the TANF case closure does not permit payment to be authorized in a timely manner. In these situations, TANF/Working funding may be used for one month to give the LDSS time to set up transitional funding. This does not change the transitional period.

If there is a delay between the last TANF payment and closure of the TANF case and the family is income eligible, authorized child care subsidy payments are made using TANF child care funds (budget line 871) until the TANF case is closed. Such authorized payments do not count against the 12-month transitional period.

G. Diversionary Assistance

Receipt of diversionary assistance does not qualify an individual for Transitional Child Care.
