VA TANF - Relatives of a Specified Degree

For purposes of TANF Eligibility: The relative with whom a child is living, and who is designated as the caretaker, must be a relative by blood, marriage, or adoption.

NOTE: Unlike in the Virginia Medicaid program, the TANF policy manual does not provide a list of the types of relatives that meet the definition of a "Specified" relative. See VA Medicaid Relatives of a Specified Degree.

Relationships by marriage exist even after the marriage has been terminated by death or divorce.

Neither severance of parental rights nor adoption is considered to terminate the relationship to biological relatives. Therefore, biological relatives may receive assistance for someone who has been adopted, when there is no other relative by adoption in the home to receive assistance on the individual's behalf. However, this provision does not require individuals who have been adopted to be included in the assistance unit of the biological relative and his/her children.
