forth in § 48 of this subtitle;
(2) The applicant or recipient assigns to the State all right, title, and

provide a protective payee, if there is no available parent, legal guardian, custodian, or
other adult relative with whom the minor parent can live or the minor parent or child
would be subject to physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse, or neglect in the home of
any available adult relative or a social service worker otherwise finds that living with
any available adult relative would not be in the minor parent's or child's best interest;
or
(iii) Independently, if a social service worker confirms that the minor
parent or child's physical safety or emotional health would otherwise be in jeopardy;
and
(4) In the case of an applicant or recipient who is an immigrant, for a

(c) All recipients meeting the requirements of the FIP shall be entitled to cash
assistance benefits.
