If a participant has a child after arriving in the U.S., the contractor must refer the family to the Texas Department of Human Services (DHS) for a Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) eligibility determination before continuing with RCA benefits. If categorically ineligible for TANF, the size of the family unit changes and the contractor will calculate benefits based on the revised family unit size effective the month of birth.
