Do the IEVS requirements at section 1137 apply to children participating in the SFSP?
A3:ACF has previously stated that the IEVS requirements apply to any applicant or recipient of a TANF-funded benefit, whether assistance or non-assistance, where income or citizenship and alienage are a condition of eligibility (http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ofa/polquest/ievsys.htm). As described above, individual income and qualified alien status are not conditions of eligibility for children attending Open and Enrolled SFSP Sites. Therefore, the IEVS requirements do not apply where a jurisdiction uses Federal TANF funds or claims State maintenance-of-effort (MOE) to support Open and Enrolled SFSP Sites. Please note that the IEVS requirements do apply when TANF funds or MOE funds are expended in the TANF Program to support SFSP-related services at Camp Sites, since these sites determine eligibility based on an individual income criterion. However, the IEVS requirements do not apply to benefits provided under a separate State program.
