PROVISION REGARDING PAYMENT 7/20 502.1
502.1 AMOUNT OF PAYMENT
A. In the TANF Program - The amount of the monthly payment is the amount of the budgetary deficiency (the appropriate standard of assistance for the assistance unit, as specified in Section 304, less countable income, as specified in Section 305), adjusted to the next lower dollar, except as provided below:
1. Maximum Reimbursable Payment in TANF - The State Board has approved an overall maximum amount of payment established for each group of localities, as shown in Appendix 2 to Section 304.
2. Minimum Payment - If the budgetary deficiency is less than $10.00, no payment is made. However, if an assistance unit's ineligibility is based solely on this minimum payment provision, the case will be approved and retained as an active TANF case.
B. In Emergency Assistance to Needy Families with Children - The total payment which may be granted to a family under the Emergency Assistance program must not exceed $1,500.
