Question from ACF Region X
Question Text
Do any states require minor children to attend school as a condition of eligibility for TANF benefits? We are not referring to minors who are a head of household, but minor children on someone else's grant. School attendance is not required for these children by Federal law or regulation, as it is for a minor head of household. However, states can include school attendance by minor children as a requirement in the Individual Responsibility Plan for the adult head of household.

Please describe the structure of your training and staff development unit. Most importantly, how you accomplish the training of TANF, Food Stamps, Medicaid, Adult/Elderly etc. Secondly, if you have systems trainers and how work is assigned regarding eligibility management systems, child support systems, child care systems etc. Thanks!

How do other states conduct resource and referral to the TANF population in educating parents on selecting quality child care? What are the services provided? What is the workflow from the moment the client states they need child care?
