(a) In AFDC-C, the term "parent" shall refer to the natural and/or adoptive parent(s) or parent-person(s).
1. By law, in AFDC-C
certain relatives shall be recognized as taking the place of a parent. The term
"parent-person" is used to designate one or more such relatives who include
those of half-blood, those persons of preceding generations denoted by prefixes
"grand" and "great," brother, sister, stepfather, stepmother, stepbrother,
stepsister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, or niece. Such relative must be
one with whom the dependent child is living, in a place of residence in New
Jersey maintained by one or more such relatives as his or her or their own
home.
i. A home is the family setting
maintained or in process of being established as evidenced by assumption and
continuation of responsibility for day to day care of the child by the relative
with whom the child is living. A home exists so long as the relative exercises
responsibility for the care and control of the child, even though either child
or the relative is temporarily absent from the customary family
setting.
ii. Health Benefit
Identification (HBID) Cards and/or HBID Emergency Services Letters can be
issued on behalf of child(ren) to persons authorized to act for specified
relatives in emergency situations that deprive the child of the care of the
relative through whom he or she has been receiving care, for a temporary period
necessary to make and carry out plans for the child's continuing care and
support.
2. Under New
Jersey law, relatives of persons who adopt children become legally related to
such adopted children to the same extent that they are related to natural
children of the adopting parent.
3.
Spouses of any persons named in the groups in (a)1 and 2 above may be
considered "parent-persons" even though death or divorce has terminated the
marriage.
(b) In AFDC-F, the term "parent" refers to the natural or adoptive parents who have at least one eligible child residing with them who is under age 18 or under age 19 and a full-time student in a secondary school or in the equivalent level of vocational or technical training and is reasonably expected to complete the program before reaching age 19.
