STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA FFY 2024 STATE PLAN FOR TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES
Services for Eligible Families: Non-assistance expenditures for services including information and referral to needy parents/families such as short-term non-recurrent benefits as discussed in 45 CFR 260.31, referral to local Child Care Resource and Referral agencies (CCR&Rs) for child care assistance, referral to WV WORKS for subsidized employment, transportation and work and training services, food distribution network activities and pro-family activities expected to prevent and reduce the incidence of out of wedlock births as well as encourage the formation and maintenance of healthy two parent families, including after school activities for teens, fatherhood and healthy marriage initiatives, mentoring and literacy programs, and domestic violence/drug abuse/prevention/education programs. Additional nonfinancial criteria, if any, are dependent on the grantee statements of work.
Pro-Family Activities for Other Than Eligible Families: Non-assistance in the form of non-federal cash and in-kind qualified expenditures by third parties for individuals and families pursuant to 45 CFR 263.2(a) (4) (ii), as clarified in TANF-ACF-PI-2008-10 (Pro-family Maintenance-of-Effort (MOE) Spending Provision). These benefits and services are provided without regard to financial need or family composition.
The family attests to public benefit receipt and income on the Family Support Center's intake form. When the FSC reports their activities, the unduplicated Number of Low-Income families served (<300% of Federal Poverty Level) and unduplicated number of families who received benefits from any of the following: WV WORKS, SNAP, Medicaid or CHIP, WIC; or families with children receiving or determined eligible for childcare subsidy assistance is included. This can be compared to the total number of families served to ensure that the costs for the activities are provided only to eligible families.
All FSCs shall adhere to all applicable policies as outlined in the Bureau's FSC Programmatic Requirements Manual. This manual includes a provision that the grantee shall be responsible for maintenance of inventory and client records to ensure that TANF Non-Assistance is only being expended on eligible families.
