                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

TIME LIMIT ON THE RECEIPT OF TANF (§ 63.2-612)

Unless otherwise exempt, VIEW participants and their families may receive TANF
financial assistance for a maximum of 24 months only, subject to § 63.2-613.
VIEW participants and their families may receive TANF financial assistance, if
otherwise eligible, after a subsequent period of 24 months. However, the
24-month period of ineligibility shall not apply when a child is removed from
the parents&#8217; home as the result of a child protective services report or
complaint as defined in regulations promulgated by the Board and is placed with
a relative. In such cases, the relative with whom the child is placed shall be
eligible to receive TANF financial assistance immediately and without waiting
for the 24-month period of ineligibility to run.
		The local department shall notify a VIEW participant and his family that his
TANF financial assistance is scheduled to be terminated as provided in this
section. Notice shall be given 60 days prior to such termination and shall
inform the VIEW participant and his family of the exception regulations adopted
by the Board and the procedure to be followed by the VIEW participant and his
family if he believes that he is entitled to an extension of benefits.
