Marriage during the receipt of assistance does not apply to:

 

·        Initial applications, because the marriage must take place while the caretaker is receiving assistance.

 

·        Cases that have closed and are re-applying, for the same reason as that cited above.

 

·        Couples who are married at the time of application.

 

·        Spouses who have been out of the home and are returning.

 

Note:  If a couple who has been legally divorced remarry during the receipt of assistance, the marriage during the receipt of assistance policy would apply.
