Termination of extension

Subject to subparagraphs (B) and (C), extension of assistance during the 6-month period described in paragraph (1) to a family shall terminate (during such period) at the close of the first month in which the family ceases to include a child, whether or not the child is (or would if needy be) a dependent child under part A of subchapter IV.

No termination of assistance shall become effective under subparagraph (A) until the State has provided the family with notice of the grounds for the termination.
