performance. "Good cause" includes, but is not limited to, a verifiable need to take care of a family member with special needs, a physical or mental health problem, illness, accident, death or a serious personal or family problem that necessitates reduced participation or time off from education, training or work. An enrollee receiving aid under this chapter must make satisfactory progress in the enrollee's educational program. The department shall adopt rules defining satisfactory academic progress. The department may not disapprove an educational plan based solely on the length of the educational program. PART FFFF SUMMARY This Part makes the following changes to the laws governing the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF, program: 1. It establishes asset and time limits for transitional child care of $100,000 and 18 months, respectively. 2. It shortens the lifetime limit on TANF benefits from 60 months to 36 months. 3. It establishes the requirement for a TANF applicant to participate in a job readiness evaluation program prior to granting TANF cash benefits. 4. It establishes a minimum three month waiting period before benefits may be restored following any sanction. 5. It amends the alternative aid section to make such benefits available no more than once every 24 months, instead of once every 12 months. 6. It removes all the good cause exceptions that prevent a person from being sanctioned under the ASPIRE-TANF program for failure to participate in that program, with the exception of domestic violence. 7. It removes the 24-month limit on education training and treatment for participants in the ASPIRE-TANF program in order to eliminate the difference between Maine and federal law regarding the number of months of education and training that may qualify as countable work activities and specifies that accommodations for an individual with a disability are limited to those required by federal law. The bill amends the Parents as Scholars Program to specify that an enrollee in the program must meet federal work participation requirements. 8. It creates a job-quit penalty for receipt of TANF cash assistance if the job was quit without good cause. 9. The Part establishes the Fund for the Payment of Federal Fines Imposed for Noncompliance with Federal Work Participation Requirements in the Department of Health and Human Services. The purpose of the fund is to pay fines imposed on the State by the Federal Government due to the State's failure to comply with federal requirements related to the 154 of 230
ASPIRE-TANF program. The bill provides an appropriation in fiscal year 2017-18 and requires the Commissioner of Health and Human Services to report annually regarding the fines owed by the State for noncompliance to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over health and human services matters, which is required to report out a bill, within 30 days of the commissioner's report, appropriating the amount necessary to pay the fines. PART GGGG Sec. GGGG-1. 22 MRSA §3173, 4th , as repealed and replaced by PL 1979, c. 127, §144, is repealed and the following is enacted in its place: All applications for aid under this chapter that are based on a disability shall be acted upon and a decision made within 90 days after receipt of application. All other applications for aid under this chapter shall be acted upon and a decision made within 45 days after receipt of applications. The 90-day timeframe for disability decisions will become effective upon the date the court grants relief to the Department from the 45-day decision process required by the Polk v. Longley consent decree. PART GGGG SUMMARY This Part changes the disability determination cut-off from 45 days to 90 days for applications for aid based on a disability, and it eliminates the requirement to provide statefunded temporary medical coverage. This Part also directs the Department of Health and Human Services to seek relief from the decision process required by the Polk v. Longley consent decree. PART HHHH Sec. HHHH-1. 22 MRSA §4301, sub-§3, as amended by PL 2015, c. 324, §1, is further amended to read: 3. Eligible Person. "Eligible person" means a person who is qualified to receive general assistance from a municipality according to standards of eligibility determined by the municipal officers whether or not that person has applied for general assistance. "Eligible person" does not include a person who is a fugitive from justice as defined in Title 15, section 201, subsection 4. Beginning July 1, 2015, in accordance with 8 United States Code, Section 1621(d), "eligible person" means a person who is lawfully present in the United States or who is pursuing a lawful process to apply for immigration relief, except that assistance for such a person may not exceed 24 months. , and it does not include noncitizens that are not eligible for federal benefits pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §§1621 and 1641. 155 of 230
