(8) A RECIPIENT WHO HAS RECEIVED TRANSITIONAL ASSISTANCE MAY
REAPPLY FOR THE FIP BENEFIT AND THE BENEFIT SHALL BE FURNISHED WITH
REASONABLE PROMPTNESS TO ALL ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88A, § 50(a), (b), (c), (f), and (g).
In subsection (a) of the section, the scope of the statement of intent is
narrower than the former law because of the reorganization of provisions
formerly contained in Art. 88A, § 50. No substantive change is intended.
In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the word "applicant" is added to clarify
that both temporary cash assistance applicants and recipients must meet
FIP requirements.
In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to "temporary cash
assistance benefits" is substituted for the former reference to "cash
assistance benefits" for clarity and consistency throughout this subtitle.
In subsection (d) of this section, the phrase "[i]n determining the eligibility
for and the amount of temporary cash assistance to be provided to an
applicant or recipient who is a legal immigrant," is added for clarity.
Also in subsection (d) of this section, the phrase "for the period of time
established by federal law" is substituted for the former phrase "for a
period of 3 years from the date of the immigrant's entry into the United
States, unless a different period of time is set by the federal government"
for accuracy and consistency with federal requirements. See 8 U.S.C. §
1631(b).
Also in subsection (d) of this section, the reference to "8 U.S.C. § 1183a" is
substituted for the former reference to "§ 213A of the Immigration and
Naturalization Act" for accuracy.
In subsection (e)(2)(i) of this section, the reference to a "recipient" is
substituted for the former reference to an "individual" for clarity and
consistency.
In subsection (e)(2)(ii) of this section, the reference to the "family of the
recipient" is substituted for the former reference to the "family unit" for
clarity and consistency with subsection (e)(3) of this section.
Also in subsection (e)(2)(ii) of this section, the former phrase "but not be
limited to" is deleted in light of the word "include". Art. 1, § 30, provides
that "includes" means "by way of illustration and not by way of limitation".
In subsection (e)(3) of this section, the requirement that written notice be
sent "to the recipient" is added for clarity.
In subsection (f)(2) of this section, the reference to a determination that
transitional assistance "is appropriate" is substituted for the former
