Section 67:12:01:76 - Exceptions to eligibility requirements for parents under the age of eighteen

The department shall waive the requirement contained in subdivision 67:12:01:75(1) if:

(1) There is no living adult relative;

(2) No living adult relatives will allow the minor parent and child to live with them; or

(3) The department determines, based on evidence, that the minor parent and child would be subjected to serious physical or emotional harm if they were to live with an adult relative.

If the department determines that it is not in the best interests of the minor parent and child to live with an adult relative, the department may require the minor parent and child to live in an adult-supervised living arrangement. The adult-supervised living arrangement must be approved by the department and must provide child development, family budgeting, health and nutrition, and other parenting skills to promote the minor parent's long-term economic independence and the well-being of the child.
