ELIGIBILITY FOR TANF; PAROLEES AND PROBATIONERS WHO FAIL DRUG TESTS (§
63.2-605)

Upon receipt of notification from a probation or parole officer that a TANF
caretaker under his supervision has failed a drug test, the local department
shall provide future TANF cash benefits to such caretaker&#8217;s assistance
unit as protective or vendor payments to a third party payee for the benefit of
the assistance unit. After twelve months, the local department may reinstate
such caretaker as the payee for the assistance unit provided such caretaker has
failed no subsequent drug test within such twelve-month period. Any caretaker
who is reported to have failed a drug test under this section may appeal such
report, including the validity of any test results, pursuant to §§ 63.2-517,
63.2-518 and 63.2-519.
