You do not have to tell the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) if you, or someone in your family, has a disability or serious health problem.
But if you or a family member does have a disability or serious health problem, there are some special rules that can help you with your DTA benefits.
- You may be able to get extra help dealing with DTA rules. This is called an accommodation.
- You may be excused from the TAFDC time limit, work requirement and other rules.
- If you get SNAP and a disability benefit, or are 60 or older, telling DTA about medical expenses may increase your SNAP.
- If you are a single adult and have a health condition that prevents you from being able to work for 60 days, you may be able to get cash assistance through the EAEDC program.
You will need to tell DTA about the disability or illness for DTA to apply these rules.
