REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88A, § 49(a), (b), and (c).
In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the former
reference to welfare avoidance grants "[f]or an applicant or recipient" is
deleted as redundant.
In subsection (a)(2)(i) of this section, the defined term "temporary cash
assistance" is substituted for the former reference to "welfare assistance"
for consistency throughout this subtitle.
In subsection (a)(2)(iv) of this section, the reference to welfare avoidance
grants that "do not exceed an amount of 3 months of temporary cash
assistance" is substituted for the former reference to grants that "[m]ay be
in an amount that exceeds 3 months" for clarity.
