Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1240-01-03-.23 - LIVING IN THE RELATIVE HOME
(1) To be eligible
for AFDC a child must live in a place of residence maintained by the relative
as his or her own home and the home of the child. A home is considered to be a
family setting maintained (or in the process of being established) by the
relative who requests AFDC for a child in his/her care and control. Usually the
child continuously shares the same household with the applicant relative. A
child is considered to be living in the relative's home as long as the
applicant/relative continues to provide care and control of the child even
though circumstances may require temporary absence of either the child or the
relative from the customary family setting.
(2) The EW will contact rental offices,
landlords, day care centers, and public schools to verify that the children in
the AFDC filing unit actually live with the individual making application. The
following additional sources of evidence will be used if the child is an infant
or extenuating circumstances result in no or questionable information being
available through the above sources:
(a)
Personal contact with neighbors as to whether to their own knowledge the child
lives in the home.
(b) Personal
contact with relatives as to where the child lives.
(c) Physician, clinic, public health
records.
(d) Worker's
observations.
