2008 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 63.2-612 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 63.2-612. Time limit on the receipt of TANF.
Unless otherwise exempt, VIEW participants and their families
may receive TANF financial assistance for a maximum of twenty-four 24
months only, subject to § 63.2-613. VIEW participants and their families may
receive TANF financial assistance, if otherwise eligible, after a subsequent
period of twenty-four 24 months. However, the 24-month period
of ineligibility shall not apply when a child is removed from the parents' home
as the result of a child protective services report or complaint as defined in
regulations promulgated by the Board and is placed with a relative. In
such cases, the relative with whom the child is placed shall be eligible to
receive TANF financial assistance immediately and without waiting for the
24-month period of ineligibility to run.
The local department shall notify a VIEW participant and his
family that his TANF financial assistance is scheduled to be terminated as
provided in this section. Notice shall be given sixty 60 days
prior to such termination and shall inform the VIEW participant and his family
of the exception regulations adopted by the Board and the procedure to be
followed by the VIEW participant and his family if he believes that he is
entitled to an extension of benefits.
