When 3 generations of a family live together, combine the cases into one case, if the minor caretaker:

  • has never been married, and
  • is eligible as a dependent child, and
  • is living with eligible blood-related or adopted siblings who receive or are applying for TANF as dependent children, and
  • the minor's child does not have 2 parents in the home or the separate case with the minor's child and both parents is not eligible for cash due to income and/or assets.

If the minor caretaker's child receives cash, the child must be in the same case as the minor caretaker.
