2. Any food stamp household in which all members receive or are authorized to receive Temporary Assistance for Families with Dependent Children (TAFDC) (TAFDC).

3. Any food stamp only TANF Services assistance unit (household) consisting solely of a pregnant woman, or households with a child(ren) under age 19 living with either a parent, caretaker relative, or adult caretaker exercising food stamp parental control.
