Question Text

Shared Custody - This is a two part question. (1) How do other states handle TANF eligibility in equally shared custody situations where one of the parents is requesting TANF assistance? For instance, a child lives with mom two weeks and then with dad two weeks, alternating between their residences, resulting in an equal amount of time at both of the parents' homes. Mom has applied for TANF assistance. How does this arrangement impact her eligibility for TANF benefits? How is the child support assignment and child support involvement handled? (2) How is eligibility affected and determined when both of the parents, in the above scenario, request TANF assistance?
