TWO PARENT ASSISTANCE UNITS |
|
|
|
The number
of countable months for a two parent household will be the same for both
adults. Example: if
the parents separate with 25 countable months and the parent who was not the
caretaker applies for Families First, the time count for the new case will
begin at 26 months. The number of countable months in a combined two-parent household will
be the higher number of months if the combination of assistance units results
in one assistance unit. Example: A
parent with 10 countable months marries a parent with 15 countable
months. They have a child in
common. One assistance unit will be formed
with a time count of 15 months. They
stay together for 12 months and then separate. Each parent may again have a separate
assistance unit with a count of 27 months. |
