made to or on behalf of any minor child under section 256J.02, subdivision 2, clause (1), who is a
resident of this state under section 256J.12, and who is part of a two-parent eligible household as
expenditures under a separately funded state program and report those expenditures to the federal
Department of Health and Human Services as separate state program expenditures under Code of
Federal Regulations, title 45, section 263.5.
(b) Beginning October 1, 2006, the commissioner of human services must treat MFIP
