temporary assistance; child only case

SB 1603 amends Arizona law to clarify eligibility for temporary cash assistance by defining "child only case" in Section 46-101. This specifically covers children in foster care with unrelated adults or nonparent relatives not receiving cash assistance, or placed under court order with such caregivers. The bill ensures these cases are treated separately from "needy families" (which require a parent or relative receiving aid), as stated in Section 46-292. It directly affects children in foster care settings where caregivers do not qualify for cash assistance themselves. The change refines existing eligibility rules without creating new programs or altering benefit amounts.
