OLGT 2021-93: TAFDC and EAEDC: Implementation of the Asset Limit Repeal–Phase 2

A change in legislation has eliminated asset limits for both the TAFDC and EAEDC programs. This change is retroactive to July 1st, 2021. The Department is beginning the second phase of implementation for the asset limit repeal where eligibility will be assessed for certain households who were closed or denied in part or due to the asset limit since July 1, 2021. These households will be notified of this change in one of the following ways:

• An informational notice will be mailed informing impacted clients to contact DTA to review potential past and ongoing eligibility for TAFDC/EAEDC benefits; and

• A list of clients who were denied, closed, or withdrew an application for an asset related reason since July 1 but who are now pending or active or have since been denied or closed for a non-asset related reason will be sent to local offices for case managers to contact these clients directly about potential past and/or ongoing eligibility.
