The TANF program provides eligible families with a monthly cash payment to meet their basic needs. For a child to be eligible he must be: Under age 18, or if 18, will graduate from high school before age 19. Going to school regularly if he is between the ages of five and 18. Living with a parent or other relative.
One of the main goals of TANF is to transition recipients to employment, so that cash benefits are no longer necessary. Recipient families must fulfill ongoing work requirements, and there is a time limit on benefits. The federal government sets basic rules for administering TANF cash assistance, but states have responsibility for developing their programs. Income eligibility limits and benefit levels vary widely. More than one-third of the states have an income limit of less than 50 percent of the federal poverty level, while in other states, families with earnings above 100 percent of the federal poverty level may qualify for benefits.
