256J.74 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROGRAMS.
Subdivision 1. Social services. The county agency shall refer a participant for social services
that are offered in the county of financial responsibility according to the criteria established by
that county agency. A payment issued from federal funds under title XX of the Social Security
Act, state funds under the Children and Community Services Act, federal or state child welfare
funds, or county funds in a payment month must not restrict MFIP eligibility or reduce the
monthly assistance payment for that participant.
Subd. 2. Concurrent eligibility, limitations. (a) An individual whose needs have been
otherwise provided for in another state, in whole or in part by county, state, or federal dollars
during a month, is ineligible to receive MFIP for the month.
(b) A county agency must not count an applicant or participant as a member of more than one
assistance unit in this state in a given payment month, except as provided in clauses (1) and (2).
(1) A participant who is a member of an assistance unit is eligible to be included in a second
assistance unit the month after the month the participant joins the second unit.
(2) An applicant whose needs are met through federal, state, or local foster care payments for
the first part of an application month is eligible to receive assistance for the remaining part of the
month in which the applicant returns home. Foster care payments must be considered prorated
payments rather than a duplication of MFIP need.
Subd. 3.[Repealed, 1Sp2003 c 14 art 1 s 107]
Subd. 4. Medical assistance. Medical assistance eligibility for MFIP participants shall
be determined as described in chapter 256B.
