ABSTRACT
The family assistance benefit would be reduced by non-excluded income, so that families with more non-excludable income than these benefits would not be eligible for any benefits. To qualify for Family Assistance Plan benefits a family must consist of two or more related individuals living in their own home and residing in the United States and one must be an unmarried child. Payment may be made to anyone or more members of the qualified family. Beneficiaries would be required to report events or changes of circumstances affecting eligibility or the amount of benefits. Family Assistance benefits would be denied with respect to any member of a family who refuses without good cause to register or to participate in suitable manpower services, training, or employment. Some of the State plan requirements now applicable in the case of Aid and Services to Needy Families with Children would be made applicable to the agreement.
