An ADC cash payment is not issued if the amount would be less than $10 before any adjustment is made. A unit that is denied an ADC cash payment solely because of the $10 minimum payment is still considered an ADC cash assistance case. The unit continues to be eligible for other forms of assistance such as medical assistance and social services. The unit is not subject to Employment First requirements and is non-time limited. The adult(s) or minor parent head-of-household included in the ADC unit may choose to volunteer to participate in Employment First (see 468 NAC 2-020.03 and 2-020.09B2f(5)). The worker must send a Notice of Action notifying the client that s/he will not receive a payment because of the minimum payment provision. An ADC cash payment is issued if an individual is added to an existing unit and the combined unit (the original unit plus the added individual) is eligible for an ADC cash payment of $10 or more.
