benefit is the maximum payment level or the difference between the countable 
earnings and the standard of need established by rule adopted by the department, 
whichever is lower; 
(9)  In cases when the TANF recipient has child care costs, the department shall 
determine a total benefit package, including TANF cash assistance, determined in 
accordance with subparagraph (7) and additional child care assistance, as 
provided by rule, necessary to cover the TANF recipient's actual child care costs 
up to the maximum amount specified in section 3782-A, subsection 5.  The

treatment program appropriate to the type of illegal drug being used by that person. 
D.  If the department determines that, for good cause, a person is unable to enroll in a 
substance abuse program as required by paragraph C, the person remains eligible for
