As a caretaker relative, you have two options: You can choose to receive a TANF Child-Only grant for the child(ren) in your care. If you choose to receive benefits solely for the child(ren), your income and resources will not impact the TANF cash benefit amount for your household. Certain income/benefits received for the child(ren) may be counted.
You may also choose to receive benefits for yourself as well as the child(ren) in your care. If you choose to be in the TANF benefit group, your income, resources, and/or needs will be included when determining the TANF cash benefit amount for your household. Children receiving kinship care payments, subsidized adoption or guardianship payments, foster care board payments, or SSI benefits, are not eligible for TANF benefits.
TANF applicants and recipients are required to cooperate with the Department on child support procedures as a condition of eligibility. Adults who receive TANF cash assistance for themselves are provided case management and support services, as well as a variety of employment and training opportunities. Unless exempt under state or federal rules, all adults are subject to TANF participation requirements and time limits.
The maximum monthly TANF grant amount is $229 for one child, $308 for two children, and $388 for three children. To learn more about the TANF program, click here To apply for benefits online, please visit the DSS Benefits Portal . You may also apply in person at your local county DSS office.
