Ops Memo 2013-38: TAFDC – Extension Process and BEACON Changes

Overview

Any client who has exhausted 22 months of time-limited benefits must be
given the opportunity to request an extension. The Department has developed
a process for clients to request an extension of TAFDC benefits beyond the
24-month period. To date, the extension process has been largely completed
outside of BEACON.

Purpose 

The purpose of this Operations Memo is to advise DTA staff about:

• changes to BEACON which incorporate the extension process;
• notices attached to the BEACON changes; and
• processing extensions through BEACON.
