Services are offered in Cook County.

If you receive TANF you are required to enroll in this program.

Your TPS case manager will help you set up a step by- step plan to finish school, learn new skills, and get a job. This will help build a better life for you and your family. No matter what kind of help you need, you can call your TPS case manager.
If you or someone in your family is trying to deal with a problem, such as drugs or alcohol, depression, or relationship problems, your case manager can help you get services. When you go to school or work, TPS can help you find and get help to pay for child care.
TPS can also help you pay for some of the costs for school such as: Transportation costs to go to school (bus and train fare), Books and school supplies, TPS can make a big difference in your family's life by showing you how to: Get free health care services for you and your child, such as prenatal care, well baby care, and immunizations for your child, Plan the number of children you want and when you want to have them, Understand the growth and development of your child, Improve your parenting skills, Practice a healthy lifestyle and prepare nutritious meals.
What if I haven't finished school? If you are age 19 or under and don't have a high school diploma or GED, you must be in school or a GED program to receive TANF cash. If you are a mother with a newborn baby you will not have to go to school until the baby is up to 12 weeks old.
What happens after I graduate from high school or get my GED? When you finish high school or get your GED, TPS will help you move toward your next goal. Your TPS case manager can help you: You may still be able to get child care, medical assistance, SNAP benefits, and other support services even after you leave TANF cash.
Talk to your case manager for more information. How does the TANF cash time limit affect me? Once you turn 18, you can only receive TANF cash for a total of 5 years (or 60 months) for the rest of your life.
This makes it really important to finish high school or get your GED and get a good job. Starting when you are 18, if you have your own TANF cash case, every month you get TANF cash counts against your 60-month limit, also called your TANF "clock." Once you use up your 60 months of TANF cash, you will not be able to receive it again.
There are only four ways you can get TANF cash without having it count against your "clock": Go to college full-time in an approved program and get good grades, or Be involved in an approved domestic violence program, or Care for a sick family member (with approval). There is no time limit for SNAP benefits or the medical card. Do I need to live with my parents to get TANF cash?
If you are a parent under age 18, and you do not live with a parent, legal guardian or an adult relative, or in a maternity home or other adult supervised arrangement, you and your child may get TANF cash for up to 6 months. After 6 months, you may still qualify for TANF cash if there is good reason why you cannot meet this requirement.
Talk to your Family and Community Resource Center worker or your TPS case manager about your situation. You do not have to live at home to get a medical card or SNAP benefits. Child support can help you take care of your children's future.
If you want to get TANF cash, you must tell the State of Illinois how they can contact your child's father or mother. If you are afraid that your child's father or mother might hurt you or your child, let your local office case manager help you. If you receive TANF cash, you will also get up to $50 of the child support money the state collects each month.
When you no longer get TANF cash, you will get the full amount of child support that the state collects each month. If you are the biological father you may be required to cooperate with Child Support. It is important to identify a legal father for your child.
Even if he is not working now, he may have income in the future, and your child deserves a share. A father can be a very positive role model to a child and contribute to family self-sufficiency as well as the child's well being. If you are not receiving TANF cash but would like help getting child support, call 800-447-4278 (voice) or 800-526-5812 (TTY).

On August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
Read articleThe OpenAI Foundation is putting $100 million behind Breakthroughs to Follow-Through, a Common Health Coalition initiative aiming to at least double hepatitis C cure rates in eight states and localities within two years. Alabama, Illinois, Louisiana and Massachusetts go first, money flows to local collaboratives and nonprofits, and the grants are deliberately not tied to any one AI vendor. Here is what makes an organization fundable under it.

The standard deal is 50/50. The deal that matters for small towns is the full-funding provision for economically distressed communities — and the thing that disqualifies applicants is not the project, it is GATA prequalification.
