I. Purpose
The purpose of this directive is to advise districts of the Temporary Assistance (TA) impact of two changes in State law. These are:
•a new provision under lump sum policy that allows for TA recipients to retain without impacting eligibility, set asides from lump sums under certain circumstances; and
•a new resource exemption from the TA resource limit for a separate and distinct bank account of up to $1,400 when established by an individual while currently in receipt of assistance for the sole purpose of paying tuition at a two-year accredited post-secondary educational institution, so long as the funds are not used for any other purpose.
