SB 1190 Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Program.
Introduced by: John S. Edwards | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Program. Eliminates the deprivation requirement as an eligibility criterion for TANF assistance. The “deprivation requirement” meant that a child would be eligible under this program if deprived of the support of one of the parents due to death or absence. Originally, this meant that two-parent families were not eligible. Over the years, two-parent families became eligible for assistance, but inequities remained. Virginia’s welfare reform law states that TANF shall be provided to needy two-parent families on the same terms and conditions that TANF is provided to single-parent families. In 1997, the TANF Advisory Committee recommended the elimination of the determination of deprivation because it results in additional administrative procedures and is largely irrelevant to the child’s financial circumstances.
