Grandparent Caregivers Eligibility Determination Rules Approval Resolution of 2024

This resolution approves new rules for the District of Columbia's Grandparent Caregivers Pilot Program that allow grandparents to apply for financial subsidies without first receiving a Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) eligibility determination for the child they care for. The primary change removes the requirement for a formal TANF approval while still mandating that applicants must have applied for TANF benefits for the child. By eliminating this specific step, the program aims to speed up the process for grandparents to submit applications and receive financial support if they are approved. The rules amend existing regulations in the District's Municipal Code to reflect this streamlined eligibility process.
