The case remains in application status until incapacity is determined by the TANF Worker. To determine incapacity, the worker has the client sign Form HIPAA-3, Authorization to Disclose Medical Records, and submit it with Form TW-27, TANF Work Tolerance Report, to a medical professional. Once the completed TW-27 is returned, the worker determines incapacity and, if approved, certifies TANF using the following coding.
On the TANF Work tab in FACS
- Payee/Spouse Grant Indicator (F12) block for both parents: “PARENT OR CARETAKER RELATIVE INCLUDED IN GRANT/REQUIRED WORK REGISTRANT”
- TANF Work Status (F154) block:
- for parent with approved incapacity decision: “DISABLED INDIVIDUAL”
- for other parent with no documented need to care for disabled individual: “REQUIRED PARTICIPANT”
- for other parent with documented need to care for disabled individual: “CARETAKER OF DISABLED INDIVIDUAL”
