OAR 461-155-0020: Prorated Standards; Adjusted Number in Household; TANF

In the TANF program: (1) Prorated standards are used only in the no-adult tables. (2) The no-adult tables are used when there are no adults in the TANF benefit group (see OAR 461-110-0750). (3) Prorated standards are based on the number of people in the benefit group (see OAR 461-110-0750), compared to the adjusted number in the household group (see OAR 461-110-0210). The adjusted number in the household is determined by taking the total number of individuals in the household, minus the following individuals unless they are included in the benefit group: (a) Unborns. (b) Individuals receiving long-term care (see OAR 461-001-0000) or home and community-based care (see OAR 461-001-0030). (c) Children who receive foster care payments for more than 30 days. (d) Children receiving adoption assistance. (e) Live-in attendants who live with the filing group (see OAR 461-110-0310 and 461-110-0330) solely to provide necessary medical or housekeeping services and are paid to provide these services. (f) Landlords and tenants. A landlord-tenant relationship exists if one person pays another at fair market value (see OAR 461-001-0000) for housing and if: (A) The filing group lives independently from the landlord or tenant; (B) The filing group has and uses sleeping, bathroom, and kitchen facilities that are separate from the landlord or tenant; and (C) If bathroom or kitchen facilities are shared, the housing must be a commercial establishment that provides either room, board, or both for fair market value compensation.
