Revision 15-4; Effective October 1, 2015
TANF and Medical Programs
A certified individual becomes ineligible if the individual moves to another state:
- with the intent to remain there, or
- without declaring intent to return.
If the individual returns to Texas within 90 days and states that the move was not intended to be permanent, the advisor must:
- reopen the Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) using the reason denied-in-error; and
- issue restored benefits, if appropriate.
SNAP
A household is not eligible for benefits issued for a month after the household leaves Texas.
When a household member notifies HHSC that the household moved out of Texas, Form TF0001, Notice of Case Action, is not required. If the household has not yet moved, the advisor must issue Form TF0001 to provide adequate notice. The EDG is denied effective the end of the month they move, if possible.
