Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024
(A) TAFDC applicants and clients may be eligible for non-federal Veterans' Services Benefits (VSB) under M.G.L. c. 115. They may elect to participate in either the TAFDC or the Veterans' Services program, but may not participate in both. The TAFDC worker must advise such individuals of their option to apply for either program.
(B) EAEDC applicants or clients may be eligible for non-federal VSB under M.G.L. c. 115. Such EAEDC applicants or clients are not eligible for EAEDC. The worker must advise those who may be eligible for VSB that they must apply for such benefits as a condition of eligibility for EAEDC before a determination of eligibility for EAEDC can be made. Any time that an EAEDC client appears eligible for VSB, he or she must apply for such benefits and provide written notification of ineligibility from the Department of Veterans' Services office as a condition of continuing EAEDC eligibility.
