121-4 CONCURRENT PAYMENTS
Except for specific exceptions allowed by the DPA program manuals, no person is entitled to receive cash assistance concurrently for more than one DPA assistance program, or concurrently from more than one federal cash assistance program. (This does not affect SNAP .) That is, no recipient can be provided benefits in the same calendar month in the ATAP program and the SSI or APA cash programs.
Note:
The prohibition against concurrent payments does not apply to Interim Assistance
and the Alaska Temporary Assistance program. Temporary Assistance recipients
may receive Interim Assistance payments. However, the Interim Assistance
payment counts as income when determining eligibility and payment amounts
for Temporary Assistance.
However, he or she can be a protective payee for more than one program, when his or her needs are being met in only one program. For example, a disabled parent has his or her needs met by SSI and APA payments, and his or her spouse and children have their needs include in and met by ATAP .
The Eligibility Technician must be careful not to confuse the recipient (one whose needs are included in the grant) with the person who actually receives a monthly benefit. These may not be the same person.
