If you are on TAFDC (cash assistance) and have a work requirement,
you are required to work as soon as you enter shelter.
Your welfare caseworker will tell you if you are required to work.
Currently, you should not be required to work if you have a child under
age 2 who is on TAFDC (or could be qualified for TAFDC) or a child less
than 3 months not on TAFDC. If you receive SSI or Social Security for
disability, you should not be required to work.
You cannot be forced to work if you do not have access to
childcare or transportation. Contact legal services if you
are on TAFDC and required to work even though childcare and/or transportation
are not available to you.
