TX HHS Form H1065. Tuition and Fee Exception Letter

The TX HHS Form H1065, Tuition and Fee Exception Letter, is a certification document used to confirm that a student's dependent child received Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits for at least six months during their senior year in high school. This form helps solve the problem of students who are eligible for tuition and fee exemptions but need documentation to support their application.

This letter is typically filled out by a representative from Texas Health and Human Services (HHS), such as a caseworker or social worker, who has knowledge of the student's TANF benefits. The form requires the representative to provide the student's name, address, and telephone number, as well as certify that the student received TANF benefits for at least six months during their senior year in high school.

The Tuition and Fee Exception Letter is used in situations where a student is seeking to use their tuition and fee exemption at a Texas institution of higher education. The form serves as proof that the student meets the eligibility criteria for the exemption, allowing them to access financial aid or other benefits. Key points to note include:

• The student must have received TANF benefits for at least six months during their senior year in high school.
• The representative must certify that the student received TANF benefits and provide supporting documentation.
• The form is used to support a student's application for tuition and fee exemptions at a Texas institution of higher education.
