The purpose of this GIS is to call attention to new Food Stamp Program rules affecting eligibility for transitional food stamp (TBA) benefits for the households of certain Transitional Employment Assistance Program (TEAP) participants. This new policy information first was provided in 09 ADM–11, issued on June 19, 2009.
Effective July 1, 2009, FS households participating in an employment program that is funded, at least in part, through diversion of the household’s entire TA grant (Case Types = 11 or 12 only) are eligible to receive FS benefits under the Transitional Benefits Alternative (TBA), if they otherwise qualify, for up to 5 consecutive months. (Administrative Directives 01 ADM-16 and 02 ADM-07 define all other TBA qualifying factors.)
