Limits
For families with children, federal and state laws have changed.
Assistance is now temporary and time-limited. Cash assistance
will only be available for up to 60 months in a lifetime. Any
month or part of a month, since December 1996, in which cash
benefits were received, counts toward your time limit.
If you are on assistance and are employed and your cash grant is
minimal, you may want to request that your case be closed and save
a full month of assistance to be used at a later date when need
may be greater. If you need a child care subsidy this can be guaranteed
in this situation.
