According to 13 CSR 40-2.310 (6), Temporary Assistance benefits are available only for children living with a parent or other eligible payee in a place of residence maintained as his/her home.
Home is interpreted to mean the family setting maintained or in the process of being established as evidenced by the assumption and continuance of responsibility for the child.
A home exists as long as the parent or other eligible payee takes responsibility for the full physical care and control of the child.
