The purpose of this release is to inform social services districts (SSDs) of the establishment of a shelter allowance maximum particular to certain Temporary Assistance (TA) recipients who also participate in the Section 8 Voucher program. This change establishes a shelter allowance for the family’s out-of-pocket rent expense up to a maximum of 30% of the Standard of Need by family size considering only the basic allowances, including the Home Energy Allowance (HEA) the Supplemental Home Energy Allowance (SHEA) and the shelter allowance maximum (with children). This release also discusses the treatment of TA recipients, who also participate in the Section 8 Voucher program but who are not affected by the new budgeting methodology, because the Section 8 agency that issued the voucher is covered under the grandfathering provision of the regulation.
