An unemployed mother of 6 children (age 15 and under) has been receiving food stamps and TAFDC in Massachusetts. Her teen daughter, a full-time high school student, worked a part-time job; 9 hours per week from May 1 to July 1 and then 20 hours per week from 7/1 to 8/1. Now DTA has cut off the family’s benefits. I thought that income from a teen who is a full-time student did not count toward “Family income” when calculating benefits. I want to write a letter supporting this mother’s dispute. What should I say?
