Note that when a family becomes eligible for the Family Independence Program (FIP) (Temporary Aid to Needy Families [TANF] in South Carolina), they can apply for Medicaid. Currently, the income rules for Low Income Families and Medicaid and the income rules for TANF are the same; however, either could change independent of the other in the future.

NOTE: The Low Income Family limits cannot be more restrictive than limits under the rules of the old Aid to Families of Dependent Children program on July 16, 1996.
