TANF

After eligibility is determined, the TANF grant amount is prorated for the first month of eligibility using the following steps:

Calculate the certified group's recommended grant amount for the month based on the household size and net income. (See Step 5, line 3, page 3 of Form H1101 , TANF Worksheet , or Step 5, line 3, page 2 of Form H1102 , TANF Worksheet for Special Reviews and Denials .)

Determine the earlier of the certification date or the 30th day after the file date. Using the chart in C-112.1 , Proration Multiplier Chart , determine the appropriate proration multiplier.

Multiply the recommended grant amount from Step 1 by the multiplier from Step 2.

Round the amount from Step 3 down to the next dollar. If the resulting prorated grant is less than $10, the household is not eligible for a grant in the first month. The grant effective date is the first day of the following month.

Note: One-Time TANF and One-Time TANF for Relatives payments are not prorated.
