TANF Cash Help Texas October 2024: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is a program designed to support low-income families by helping them pay for basic needs like food, clothing, and housing. TANF gives cash benefits to families with children under 18 to help them find stability.
The benefits can be used for a variety of costs, such as food, rent, utilities, transportation, and items like phone service, household supplies, and medical needs not covered by Medicaid. Eligibility for TANF depends on a family’s income, the value of their belongings, and the costs they have for things like child support and daycare.
In Texas, a family’s eligibility for TANF benefits is determined by the size and income of their household. A two-parent household with two children can earn up to $268 per month and still be eligible, whereas a single parent with one child may qualify with an income of up to $163 per month.
Additionally, even if their income is higher than the usual limits, grandparents or other family members caring for a child may be eligible for TANF support.
Families that receive TANF must follow certain guidelines in order to continue receiving benefits. This entails going to parenting classes, making sure kids get their vaccinations, making sure they go to school on a regular basis, adhering to child support laws, staying employed, avoiding substance abuse, and taking part in job training or actively seeking for work.
