SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.
This amendment repeals all of the current Aid to Families with Dependent Children and IV-A Emergency Assistance regulations, Sections 114-1100, 114-1110, 114-1120, 114-1130, 114-1140, 114-1150, 114-1160, 114-1170, 114-1180, and 114-1190. These proposed regulations, address the operation of the Family Independence Program provided for under the South Carolina Family Independence Act of 1995 and Title I Block Grants for Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) contained in the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-193). The regulations provide the framework for determining which persons are eligible for Family Independence benefits and address the following general areas: application process, eligibility requirements, determination of need and amount of assistance, employment and training program, safeguarding of information, notice requirements, and hearings.
