OAR 461-135-0200: Multiple Disqualifications; TANF

(1) This rule describes the method for calculating the net TANF benefit when a client's benefits are affected by the penalty provided in division 130 of this chapter of rules for failure to comply with the requirements of a case plan (see OAR 461-001-0025) or the penalty provided by OAR 461-135-0085 and, during the same month, by a concurrent penalty related to child support or a penalty related to recovery from third parties (OAR 461-120-0340 and 461-120-0345 respectively). (2) If the concurrent penalty relates to child support, during the first three months that the penalties are both applied, the penalty related to the case plan or to OAR 461-135-0085 is applied first, and the concurrent penalty is then applied. During the fourth and successive months, the clients are ineligible for TANF benefits. (3) If the concurrent penalty relates to recovery from third parties, during the first three months that the penalties are both applied, only the penalty related to third-party recovery is applied. During the fourth and subsequent months, the penalty related to third-party recovery continues and the benefit group (see OAR 461-110-0750) is ineligible for TANF benefits.
