2008 SESSION
088533820Be 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.
