First Online Policy Manual Family Cap |
Revised: |

WHEN THE FAMILY CAP HAS BEEN APPLIED |
|
|
|
Once the Family Cap has been applied to a child, it will continue
until the case is closed. When an AU that has had the Family Cap
applied to an AU child closes, Family Cap will be continued upon reapplication
when the AU was closed for a sanction due to non-cooperation with the
following Departmental policies and rules: ·
Failure to
cooperate with Child Support. ·
Failure to
fulfill Personal Responsibility Plan provisions and requirements. Note: These
PRP provisions and requirements apply to work requirements and to the
immunization, health check, and school attendance agreements. Though non-compliance with the latter
agreements doesn’t cause case closures, if at the time of closure, a non-
compliance is discovered in these areas or a 20% grant sanction is already in
place, the Family Cap will continue at reapplication. Example: The Families First AU is closed effective
9/30/98 due to failure to comply with a work activity. The caretaker reapplies for benefits on
12/15/99 and is approved. Action on case: The Family Cap continues to apply to this
case because the closure was due to failure to comply. |
