Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is a vital program that provides financial support and services to families facing economic hardship.
As of July 2025, understanding when your benefits will be deposited is crucial for planning and ensuring that you can meet your family’s basic needs.
What is TANF?
TANF is a federally funded program managed by each state. It provides monthly financial assistance and support services to families who are struggling financially.
The goal of TANF is to offer temporary financial relief while encouraging family stability and workforce participation. TANF helps families in many ways, including:
- Monthly cash payments to cover basic needs such as food, housing, utilities, and other essential expenses.
- Subsidized child care to help parents who need to work or study.
- Job training and employment services to help adults find and keep stable jobs.
- Education assistance, including support for completing secondary school, technical education, or university.
- Additional services such as transportation assistance, medical services, or housing support, depending on the state.
Who is Eligible for TANF?
To qualify for TANF assistance, you must meet the following requirements:
- You must have children under the age of 18 (or under 19 if still in high school).
- You must meet the income and resource limits set by your state.
- You must be a resident of the state where you are applying for benefits.
- You must actively participate in work, educational, or training activities, unless exempt due to disability, pregnancy, or caring for a child with special needs.
