The steps to coding a Child Only TANF case are the same as any other TANF case with the exception of the Household and TANF Work tab. This coding is shown below.
On the “Household” tab in FACS the child’s “Relationship to Payee” must be coded as follows:
| Payee’s relationship to child: | Coding for the child on the “Relationship to Payee” block (F9) must be: |
|---|---|
| Parent | Son or daughter, stepchild |
| Aunt/Uncle | Niece/nephew |
| Grandparent | Grandchild or great grandchild |
| Sibling | Brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, step-brother, step-sister |
| Cousin | Cousin |
Note: Other child residing in household is never used for TANF.
On the “TANF Work” tab in FACS the “Payee/Spouse Grant Indicator”:
| If Payee is: | Then “Payee/Spouse Grant Indicator” should be: |
|---|---|
| Relative payee | Caretaker relative other than parent not included in benefit |

| Parent payee receives SSI but does not receive SSP* | Parent not included in grant because of SSI (Does not receive ABD) |
| Parent payee has a positive drug use screening* | Parent or caretaker relative not included in benefit due to positive illegal drug use screening |
