OLGT 2021-87: TAFDC: Good Cause from Cooperation with Child Support for Relative Caregivers
Date:
Children under the care of a relative that is not their natural or adoptive parent are eligible for TAFDC benefits. The caregivers of these children may choose to apply for TAFDC for both themselves and the child, or for just the child. These cases may be referred to in a variety of ways, such as relative caregiver grants or child-only grants.
Effective November 12, 2021, the definition of good cause for pursuing child support has been expanded for relative caregivers only. Relative caregivers may claim good cause when it is not in the best interest of the child to pursue child support.
