Cash assistance, also known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, helps adults with their problems finding employment. It provides training and other work support services, and helps adults learn new skills, build on their current abilities and keep children in their homes.
To receive cash assistance, a family must have at least one child in the home under the age of 18 or be expecting a child. The child may live with a parent or relative or live with a person named by a court to take care of the child, such as a guardian, conservator, or custodian. The family must also have low incomes and limited assets.
Apply for cash assistance by filling out an Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) online application.
