Any month a participant has a family violence waiver in place does not count in the MFIP 60-month lifetime limit.

The 1st month that does not count is the 1st month that the eligibility worker has approved the family violence waiver.

The 1st month after the waiver ends is the 1st month that starts counting again.

Participants may stay on the family violence waiver as long as it is needed.

Participants experiencing family violence are eligible for post-60 month extensions. See 18 (Time Limits and Extensions).
