First Online Policy Manual Marriage During Receipt of Assistance |
Revised: |

POLICY STATEMENT |
|
|
|
Families First encourages marriage. Recipient caretakers who marry during the receipt of assistance may
choose to exclude the new spouse from the AU for three full months,
regardless of income. Following the
three months, the AU must meet FF eligibility requirements to continue to receive
assistance. Should the client choose
to waive the three month exclusion, the AU must meet FF eligibility
requirements, including those regarding two-parent families, to continue to
receive assistance. The three month
exclusion starts on the first day of the month after the month of the marriage,
regardless of when the marriage is reported. |
