Is the EW or Central Helpline required to inform the
participant when time on aid is reported to other
states?
Yes, the participant must be notified when time on aid is
reported to other states. The EW or Central Helpline must
mail the participant a M40-107d (out of drawer), TANF 60-

another county or state (between December 1996 to the
present), the following action must be taken:
• If an applicant states or if the EW believes that the
applicant has received aid in another state/county or
Tribal TANF program, the EW must call the
state/county or Tribal TANF program and request the
number of months and years, including clockstopper
month(s), that the participant has received aid.
• If the state/county is unable to provide information over
the telephone, request that the information be faxed.

state/county or Tribal TANF program, the information
must be manually entered on the Prior Current Aid
screen on LEADER.

required.
