Program. The different eligibility rules do not constitute a "special circumstance" thatwould support the individual receiving benefits from the State's program, when theyotherwise met the requirements to be served by the Native program.Example: A Native family is penalized under a Native Family AssistanceProgram because of non-compliance with their Family Self-Sufficiency Plan.The Native Family Assistance Program requires an adult family member toparticipate in parent-teacher conferences. The Alaska Temporary Assistanceprogram has no similar provision. Although the family could receive a higherbenefit payment if they were to be served by the State’s program, they are stillpart of the Native Family Assistance Program’s service population, and must beserved by that program. The family’s failure to comply with the FSSP requirementdoes not constitute a special circumstance.Effects of the Native Family Assistance Programon Other DPA ProgramsIn addition to DPA’s Administrative Procedures Manual, the Alaska TemporaryAssistance manual and Alaska Food Stamp program policy manuals include additionalpolicies and processing instructions to guide application and case processing forfamilies receiving assistance from a Native Family Assistance Program.
