TANF Transmittal 65

901.9 TANF MANUAL 10/18 Page 9

Example: Mr. and Mrs. X and their children receive TANF-UP. Mr. X enrolled in VIEW in December, and his VIEW clock started in January. He has six months on his clock. In June, Mr. X moved out along with one child, and applied for TANF for himself and the child. The months on the VIEW clock for Mrs. X are zero because she did not participate in VIEW due to the “caring for a child in the AU under 12 months” exemption.

2. When one parent leaves, the children are subject to the time limit and period of ineligibility of the parent with whom they reside.

3. When a caretaker who has never participated in VIEW is added to a case with a person who has a VIEW clock he is not subject to a clock until he participates in VIEW.

Example: Mr. Y and his six-month-old child move into the home with Mrs. Y. Mr. Y is the father of Mrs. Y’s child, so this will be a TANF-UP case. Mr. Y has never received TANF. He does not have a VIEW clock and is exempt from VIEW because he is the caretaker for his six-month-old child. Mrs. Y has a clock count 10 months. Mr. Y will not have a VIEW clock until he begins to participate.

4. When a caretaker who has participated in VIEW (has a VIEW clock) is added to a case where the other caretaker has also participated in VIEW (has a VIEW clock), each caretaker will retain his/her individual VIEW clock.

Example: Both Mr. and Mrs. Y have received TANF and participated in VIEW for the past six months. Mr. Y leaves the household and moves in with Ms. A, who is a VIEW participant with a VIEW clock of three months. Mr. Y will have a clock count of six months and Ms. A will have a clock count of three months.

5. When a caretaker who participated in VIEW is added to a case with a non-VIEW participant, he will keep the months on his clock. The non-VIEW participant will not have a clock until she begins to participate in VIEW.

Example: Mr. and Mrs. Y receive TANF and each has six months on their VIEW clock. Mr. Y leaves the household and moves in with Ms. A and their three-month-old child. Ms. A is exempt from VIEW as the caretaker for the three-month-old child and does not have a VIEW clock. Mr. Y will have a clock count of six months and Ms. A will not have a VIEW clock until she begins to participate.
