To authorize extended medical on a Family Assist Case, use a TA 31 to change Item 25 from an F to an X and to enter the first month the case was ineligible, had the change been reported timely, in Item 77.
Example: A family of 2 in a Group II county has an active Family Assist
case with earned income of $990.
Step 1: Allow the TANF 2/3 employment deduction:
| Gross Earned Income |
$990 |
| Employment Deduction |
-660 |
| Countable Earned Income |
$330 |
| Family Assist Standard |
$307 |
Step 2: Since countable income is greater than the Family Assist Standard, allow the All Kids/FamilyCare Assist employment deduction.
| Gross Earned Income |
$990 |
| Employment Deduction |
-90 |
| Sub-Total |
$900 |
| $30 |
-30 |
| Sub-Total |
$870 |
| 1/3 of the remainder |
290 |
| Countable Earned Income |
$580 |
| Family Assist Standard |
$307 |
Step 3: Since the family's countable income is more than the Family Assist Standard under both budgeting methodologies, the family is no longer eligible for Family Assist. Change code F in Item 25 to code X. Update Item
30.
