SUPPORT COLLECTIONS WHICH CAUSE INELIGIBILITY |
|
|
|
Child Support Fiscal Services will notify
the caseworker when an absent parent pays court ordered current support in an
amount that is equal to or exceeds the Families First payment amount. Upon notification, the caseworker must
re-compute a prospective budget using the amount of current child support to
determine if the case continues to be eligible for Families First. If the AU is ineligible for Families First
benefits with the child support included, the Families First case must be
closed after the adverse action period.
If the AU continues to be eligible, the Budget Effective Date on the
absent parent screens will prevent the income from being counted in the
ongoing Families First and Food Stamp budgets. |
