Enter EF 60 Month TANF Tracking

Key Points

• The Employment First 60 Month TANF Tracking window was developed to track and maintain an on-line record of the federal 60-month lifetime limit on receipt of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash assistance, which in Nebraska is referred to as ADC.
• The window will track the number of months of TANF assistance a person has received from Nebraska, a tribe, or while in another state.  The window will also show whether or not a 60 Month Review has been completed by Central Office.  

Accessing the Employment First 60 Month Time Limit Tracking Window

1. Navigate to the Detail Program Case window from the EF Program Case.
2. Highlight the participant in the Program Case Persons box.
3. Select the Actions drop down on the menu bar.
4. Select the Employment First option.
5. Select the 60 Month TANF Tracking option.

Worker Entry Fields

Out of State Months: Tracking data should be entered for new cases with Out-of-State months and/or Tribal months.

1. Select the State from the drop-down menu where the TANF benefits were received.
2. Enter the number of months the person received assistance in that State.
3. Select the Add button.  The data will move to the box below.
4. Select the Save button.  The data will be saved.

If the Employment First person has been granted a Hardship, enter the status of the hardship (Approved, Denied, or In Progress) and the date of the status.   These two fields can only be entered by Economic Assistance Program Accuracy Specialists or Central Office staff.

Note: Once the initial data has been saved, no further Adds, Updates or Deletes are allowed except to enter months from a state not previously specified.  EF/TANF policy staff will have the security to make changes if needed.

In addition to tracking the number of months a person has received TANF, the 60 Month TANF Tracking window will also display information at the bottom of the page to indicate if Central Office has completed a 60 Month Review.  This information may only be entered by designated Central Office staff.
