All participants and countable family
members are required to have a unique identifier assigned for them. Families First participants are required under TANF
regulations to provide SSNs in order to receive Families First benefits. This number will remain with the individual
if he or she receives the programs associated with Families First/TANF - TCC,
ACC, ARCO, and/or Diversion Payment Child Care. Applicants for programs not associated with Families First/TANF may
voluntarily submit SSNs for household members. If the participant does not wish to
disclose SSNs for any of the household members, then those individuals will
receive a unique identifier assigned by TCCMS. Participants who choose not to use their
SSN as the unique identifier and receive an assigned identifier are not
required to know or retain those numbers in order to conduct regular business
related to their child care assistance. |
