Additional children born during the period when a family is eligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) are not eligible to have their needs included in the grant.
The family cap provision applies to children born while the family is eligible for TANF whether the mother's needs are included in the grant or not. Once children have been capped, they continue to be capped during any subsequent period of eligibility subject to the provisions below:
· For cases active on July 1, 1995, the family cap provision applies to children born on or after May 1, 1996.
· For applications on or after July 1, 1995, the family cap provision applies to children born after the ten full months following the month in which the mother's initial TANF payment was issued.
A new ten-month period occurs at each reapplication. The ten-month period is a fixed period of ten calendar months and is not affected by suspensions.
The family cap provision does not apply to foster parents or caretaker relatives who are not the biological or adoptive parents of the child. A child who was subject to the family cap in the home of a parent and subsequently moves into the home of a relative may be eligible for TANF, if otherwise eligible.
Exception: A child who is subject to the family cap provision and whose parent is in a period of ineligibility due to the VIEW Time Limit for receipt of TANF is not eligible to receive assistance with another caretaker relative until the parent's period of ineligibility expires.
The Virginia Department of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) shall send the total value of child support collected for the child subject to the family cap provision to the child's single custodial parent.
This child support shall be disregarded as income for the purpose of TANF financial eligibility and grant amount determination.
The income of the child is deemed unavailable to the TANF Assistance Unit.
