§ 1108. Obligation to assist eligible families with dependent children

Except as specifically authorized herein, the commissioner shall not adopt any rule that would result in the termination of financial assistance to a participating family, including a dependent child, on the basis of an adult family member's having received TANF-funded financial assistance, as an adult, for 60 or more months in his or her lifetime. This provision shall not prevent the commissioner from adopting rules that impose limitations on how many months that families, including a parent who has received an associate or bachelor's degree while receiving support from the postsecondary education program authorized by section 1121 of this chapter, may receive financial assistance authorized by this chapter in the five-year period immediately following the receipt of such associate or bachelor's degree. (Added 1999, No. 147 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. July 1, 2001; amended 2007, No. 30, § 8, eff. May 17, 2007.)
