Rule 290-2-28-.09 - Domestic Violence

The department shall screen and identify applicants and recipients of Georgia TANF Program who have a history of being domestic violence victims. The department shall refer such individuals to counseling and supportive services. If there is a determination of good cause by the department, the department shall waive program requirements, such as work requirements, cooperation with child support, residency, family cap and lifetime limits for so long as necessary, when such requirements make it more difficult for the victim to escape domestic violence or unfairly penalize individuals who are or have been victims of domestic violence or individuals who are at risk of further domestic violence.
