2. Subject to the approval of the Division and in the absence of any other means, a one-time moving expense allowance, not to exceed $ 500.00, may be provided over the lifetime of the case when a recipient has a firm offer of employment in a location outside of the county or municipality in excess of 30 miles of the recipient's current residence and additional assistance would ensure that employment. This allowance is in addition to the $ 500.00 authorized in (a)1 above.
