(2) 7 U.S.C. Section 2015(d).
(b) In designing the system, the division shall cooperate
with the Texas Department of Human Services.

recipient for a period of up to but not more than three years;

percentage of the federal poverty level; and

household earnings as a percentage of the federal poverty level;
and

as a percentage of the federal poverty level adjusted for the total
value of any public assistance utilized by the recipient's
household, including, but not limited to, medical assistance, food
stamps, child care, transportation assistance, the federal earned
income tax credit, and job training activities; and
(6) compare the recipient's individual earnings to a
self-sufficiency standard similar to that required under 20 C.F.R.
Section 663.230.
