Action:
Amend Definition in Locality Groupings Regulation
Action 5051
General Information
Action Summary |
Temporary Assistance for Needy Family Services (TANF) provides monthly cash assistance to eligible families. This regulation establishes criteria for local departments of social services to change TANF locality groupings. Each local area is sorted into a locality grouping which determines payment levels for recipients of TANF in that locality. The regulation indicates the required data and the criteria to determine if a locality may switch to another locality grouping and change payment levels.
In the 2017 state budget enacted by the General Assembly, action was taken to eliminate Group I and move all Group I localities to Group II. This change took place July 1, 2017. The definition of “locality groupings” in this regulation makes reference to Group I, Group II, and Group III. The definition is being amended to be consistent with the General Assembly action. The reference to Group I is being eliminated.
