ACCRUAL RIGHTS TO FAMILIES FIRST CASH PAYMENT |
|
|
|
Once an applicant is found to be eligible for Families First benefits
and benefits are authorized, he/she has a right to the initial payment
provided that he/she is alive on the date on which the application was
filed. If the Families First payment
is authorized for the calendar month in which the application was made, the
AU has the right to the Families First payment from the date of application
through the month in which the case is authorized. If the AU is ineligible for Families First
benefits in the month of authorization, but is eligible in the following
month, the AU has the right to the payment for the month following
authorization. The right to a
continuing Families First payment accrues on the first day of a calendar
month for which payment is made as long as the recipient is alive and eligible
for payment on that day. If the client or legally responsible relative in the home was on
strike as of the last day of the month, the AU is not eligible for an
assistance payment made for that month. |
