May Newsletter 2022
$8
The Commission on Grandparents Raising Grandchildren was honored to collaborate with DTA Commissioner Amy Kershaw and her team at DTA to advocate for a major change in DTA policy regarding the TAFDC child-only grant. Relative caregivers are now able to sign a "Good Cause Waiver" and will not have to cooperate with the child support requirement in order to be eligible for the TAFCD child-only grant. No further explanation is required other than it is not in the child's best interest to pursue child support. This change in the child support consent waiver will hopefully remove a barrier for families considering applying for this resource.
