From: W01 To: Cc: Subject: RE: SSBG Date: Monday, April 11, 2016 9:52:05 AM This is my issue, the TANF requirement says "Welfare reform established an income limit of 200% of poverty for recipients of services funded speci?cally from TANF allotments that are transferred to the SSBG and bene?t children or their families. I don?t have a problem with using the SSBG definition of ?families? but the word ?their? matters. If it said "children or families? then we wouldn?t have any issue. But the ?their? signals pretty clearly we are looking for a child to be in the household. That being said, our argument that other states do this is valid to me. And if we have ACF approval, I support the use of the funds for these purposes. According to David Whitt, OSC ?strongly recommended we get official approval from Thanks, Sam From: Adolphsen, Sam Sent: Monday, April 11, 2016 9:43 AM To: Peavey, Sheryl Subject: FW: SSBG This is the one I was talking about with categories.

The media asked us about this before because a provider was unhappy about not having general fund. We did not use TANF transfer for those reasons. We used straight SSBG.
