Terms Used In South Carolina Code 43-5-1210

  • AFDC: means cash payments or stipends paid to individuals who meet established eligibility criteria. See South Carolina Code 43-5-1110
  • Dependent: A person dependent for support upon another.
To remove the disincentive to employment that occurs when a family’s AFDC payment is reduced because of a minor child’s earnings and to encourage children in AFDC families to develop positive work attitudes, the State shall apply to the federal government for a waiver to exclude income earned by a minor child attending school when determining eligibility or payment amount for Aid to Families with Dependent Children.
