Section 22VAC40-295-130 - Protective payee

When a caretaker is excluded or removed from the assistance unit due to noncompliance with a TANF rule, a protective payee must be appointed to receive and manage the financial assistance payment unless the local agency determines that such appointment is unnecessary to achieve the purposes of the TANF program or cannot, after reasonable efforts, locate an appropriate individual to act as a protective payee. At least every six months, the local agency must review the way in which the protective payee's responsibilities are being carried out.
