209.15 Incapacity: Determining Incapacity for Parents in Optional Programs SR 97-09, 03/97 (FAM-A)

An incapacitated parent may apply for ANB, APTD, OAA, or SSI instead of TANF. However, for the purposes of TANF, the incapacity of such parents is established as follows:

• ANB and APTD: An OMS determination of eligibility for these programs is sufficient to categorically establish incapacity status.

• OAA and SSI: Reaching age 65 does not in itself establish incapacity; OAA individuals must still demonstrate incapacity. However, when SSI is based on disability instead of age, the incapacity is categorically established.
