(1) Those persons who are inmates of any institution. An inmate is a person living in an institution who is not free to leave on his/her volition or has been committed.

(2) Those persons who are in facilities owned and/or operated by the Correction Department or in any correction foster home not approved by DHS.

(3) An A/R cannot receive AFDC for a dependent child when the child is residing in a child caring institution or other child caring facility (except day care). However, the child himself/herself may be eligible for AFDC-foster care payments or SSI benefits. A child born to a mother who is herself in foster care may receive regular AFDC payments if all eligibility requirements are met and the child is actually living in the home with the mother.
