Wash. Admin. Code § 388-454-0005 - Can I get TANF or SFA benefits for the child living with me?
(1) You can get
temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) or state family assistance (SFA)
for a child you live with if you are responsible for the care and control of
the child and you are the child's:
(a) Parent
or other relative as defined in WAC
388-454-0010;
(b) Court-ordered guardian or court-ordered
custodian; or
(c) Other adult
acting in loco parentis (in the place of a parent).
(2) If a child lives with more
than one relative or parent because the relatives share custody of the child:
(a) We include the child in the assistance
unit (AU) of the parent or relative that the child lives with for the majority
of the time; or
(b) If relatives
share physical custody of the child in equal amounts, we include the child in
the AU of the parent or relative that first applies for assistance for the
child.
(3) If you or the
child in your AU is temporarily absent from the home according to WAC
388-454-0015 and
388-454-0020, you can still get
TANF or SFA during the absence.
