Example 3: The “TANF-Cases Current Collect Support” report in August shows a TANF case with a “Suspended” TANF Program Status because of a first VIEW sanction. The worker suspended the case on July 30th effective September 1st. The net support for July is $586 with a monthly TANF payment of $482. One asterisk displays in the column “DCSE Net Support Amount”.
No action is taken on the case for September.
A regular TANF payment will be issued for August. VaCMS will send a 'trigger' to DCSE at the end of August. DCSE will change this case to Non-TANF for the beginning of September.
All current support paid to DCSE from the non-custodial parent(s) in the month of September will be sent to the TANF recipient.
On August 16th, the client met VIEW program requirements. Since the client must serve a one-month sanction, she is not entitled to September benefits. The worker must wait until after the August cutoff date to reinstate the TANF benefit effective October 1st.
The worker does the following:
1. Runs eligibility and certifies and authorizes the October payment with an 'Approved' Eligibility Result.
2. A supplemental payment is not issued for the month of September. (The VIEW fixed sanction period of one month must be served.)
