This policy brief gives an overview of Human Resources Administration's(HRA) Cash Assistance program and the devastating practical effect that HRA's narrow definition of "temporary absence" has on families. The brief argues that the current policy significantly burdens poor families by excluding incarceration from the list of conditions that define temporary absence and reducing their Cash Assistance grant accordingly.
