Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) Time limits in TANF and SNAP are a set maximum amount of time a person is eligible to receive a benefit. A person becomes ineligible for a benefit once the time limit for that benefit has expired.

(b) In the TANF Program, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) applies time limits:

(1) in all areas of the state;

(2) to all cases of TANF cash assistance; and

(3) to all adult members of the certified group.

(c) In SNAP, HHSC follows RSA 273.24 and applies time limits to household members ages 18 to 49 who fail to meet the work requirement described in § RSA 372.1351 of this chapter (relating to SNAP Work Requirements), unless the household member is exempt as described in §372.456 of this division (relating to SNAP Time Limit Exemptions).

(d) A TANF recipient who exhausts a time limit becomes ineligible for TANF cash assistance for five years, unless the person demonstrates that the person is exempt from the time limit on the basis of hardship, as outlined in §372.452 of this division (relating to TANF Time Limit Exemptions).
