Title 49, Chapter 4, Section 186
( 49-4-186)
The schedule of assistance to be paid to a recipient family under
this article shall eliminate the increment in benefits under the
Georgia TANF Program as a result of the birth of a child during the
period in which the family is eligible for TANF assistance or during
a temporary period in which the family or recipient is ineligible
for TANF assistance pursuant to a sanction imposed for failure to
comply with eligibility requirements, subsequent to which the family
or recipient is again eligible for assistance. The recipient family
in which the recipient parent gives birth to an additional child
during the recipient's period of eligibility for TANF assistance, or
during a temporary period of ineligibility for assistance, may not
receive additional assistance, except in the case of a general
increase in the amount of TANF assistance which is provided to all
program recipients. This provision shall only apply to recipient
families who have been in receipt of cash assistance under this
article for a total of ten months after May 1, 1997. Nothing in this
Code section shall be considered to disqualify a recipient family
from an incremental increase in assistance in cases in which the
birth of a child is the result of a verifiable rape or incest. |
