Section 167:77-e Assistance Program for 2-Parent Families with Dependent Children.
By October 1, 2008, the department shall establish a non-TANF, state-funded financial assistance program for 2-parent needy families with dependent children in which one parent is underemployed or unemployed. With the exception of parental underemployment or unemployment, client eligibility and program requirements and administration shall be in accordance with this chapter and the rules adopted under this chapter. In order to meet the federal work participation rate and avoid federally-imposed penalties, the commissioner may add additional groups of families to this state-funded, financial assistance program as funding permits and also may transfer cases back to the TANF program, pursuant to rules adopted under RSA 541-A.
