TX HHS Form H1077. Notice of TANF Federal Time Limits

The TX HHS Form H1077, Notice of TANF Federal Time Limits, is a crucial document that helps individuals track their eligibility for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits. This form is used in situations where an individual's federal time limit has been reached or is about to be exceeded, requiring them to notify the relevant authorities.

The form provides key information on the federal time limits, including the total lifetime limit of 60 months and the guidelines for determining the number of federal time-limited months used. It also outlines the responsibilities of the individual, such as providing their name and caretaker or second parent information, as well as any changes or corrections to their federal time limit.

If an individual's household has reached the end of its federal time limit, they may still be eligible for other benefits like Medicaid and Food Stamps. The form provides instructions on how to proceed in such situations, including contacting an advisor or calling 2-1-1 or 877-541-7905 with any questions. Key points to note include:

• The federal time limit is a lifetime limit of 60 months.
• Any TANF benefits received since October 1999 count toward the federal time limit.
• A change or correction to an individual's federal time limit may affect their eligibility for benefits.
