Lifetime Benefit Limit (LIBL) - Pascua Yaqui Tribal TANF
A Pascua Yaqui (PY) YOEME Organization for Employment and Member Enhancement (YOEME) Services budgetary unit (BU) is eligible to receive TANF for a maximum of 60 months.
Any countable months the PY YOEME BU accumulates while living outside the PY YOEME service delivery area (SDA) also count toward the 60-month LIBL.
PY YOEME determines hardship exemption eligibility for the BU based on PY YOEME Tribal TANF policies and completes the following:
●Notifies the BU when they are eligible for a hardship exemption.
●Notifies FAA of the BU eligibility for the hardship exemption by completing and faxing the Tribal - Turn Around Document (TAD) (FAA 1125A) to FAA.
FAA completes the following when notified of a PY YOEME LIBL hardship exemption:
●Documents the
case file(g) with the exempt month and reason for the exemption.
●Completes the TAD and emails the TAD to the PY YOEME office.
NOTE When email is unavailable, fax the TAD to the PY YOEME office using the Fax Cover Sheet (FAA-1078A) form.
●Uploads the TAD to OnBase.
When the case is in the current system month, AZTECS sends the LIBL Tribal TANF 60-Month Limit (X075) notice to the BU when all the following are met:
●The BU has received 59 countable months of TANF
●The case is in open status
●The case is in the current system month
The X075 informs the PI of the following:
●The participant has reached the 60th month of their LIBL
●The TANF benefits will stop
●The participant’s appeal hearing rights
When the case is not in the current system month, AZTECS does not send the X075 notice. FAA staff must ensure the case is in the current system month.
When the TIME LTD MONTHS USED field on CODC displays 59 months or more send the LIBL Tribal TANF 60-Month Limit (A400) notice.
