Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1240-01-03-.39 - TREATMENT OF SUPPORT PAYMENTS
(1) When an
assignment is in effect on an AFDC case, any support paid on behalf of the aid
group members must go to the state to be disbursed by the IV-D agency in
accordance with Federal regulations.
(2) If the payments are insufficient to meet
the family's (or individual children's) needs by DHS grant standards, the
family receives the full AFDC grant to which it is entitled, disregarding the
support, which is used to reimburse state and Federal AFDC funds expended on
the family. In those few cases in which the family's ratably reduced need is
greater than the state's maximum payment, a portion of the monthly collections
on a case may be sent to the family to meet any budgetary deficit.
(3) If the payments do meet the needs of the
family (or child), the AFDC grant must be terminated (or the child removed from
the grant), and the support payments will then go to the family. Should
payments not continue at a level sufficient to meet the family's (or child's)
needs, the client may reapply for AFDC.
