المساعدة المؤقتة للأسر المحتاجة (TANF)

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program provides eligible families with monthly cash payments to help meet basic needs. It also connects families to education, training and employment services so they can become more self-sufficient. Eligible families must have at least a child living with a parent, both parents or with a caretaker relative. 

To be eligible, a child must: 

  • Be under the age of 18 (If a child is 18 years of age, the child must be enrolled in high school, secondary school or vocational school) 
  • Live with a parent or relative caregiver 
  • Be a Virginia resident 
  • Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible immigrant 
  • Be part of a family in financial need 

يتم إدارة برنامج المساعدة المؤقتة للأسر المحتاجة (TANF) بموجب Code of Virginia § 63.2 in alignment with federal and state regulations.
