1. (a) For purposes of the Transitional Employment Assistance Program, a head of household minor parent is defined as:

   1. (1) A minor parent who is legally married under Arkansas state law, regardless of whether he or she is currently living with the spouse and regardless of whether he or she is currently living with his or her own parent; or
   2. (2) A minor parent who is living on his or her own without adult supervision and it has been determined, in accordance with 20 CAR § 502-307, that this is an appropriate living arrangement for the minor parent and child.
2. (b) If the minor parent is determined to be a head of household, then he or she may be the transitional employment assistance (TEA) casehead and payee, and the requirements specific to a non-head of household minor parent will not apply.
3. (c) Note. A head of household minor parent is required to sign the Personal Responsibility Agreement just as any adult parent or other adult caretaker is required to do.
