7.4.4.4 Child Support Requirements and the 60-Month Federal Lifetime Limit

Participants in an ARP placement are not required to cooperate with child support or assign their rights to child support payments. ARP placements do not count towards the 60-month federal lifetime limit because ARP payments are considered short term assistance under TANF Temporary Assistance for Needy Families regulations.

If an ARP participant transitions to another placement, child support requirements applicable to the new placement must be followed.
