TANF organizes programs to help children, teenagers and parents across Louisiana. It is our job to get the word out to all Louisiana families who are ready to change their life for the better.

In keeping with the overall TANF policy of state flexibility, the Final Rule, published on April 12, 1999, does not regulate on the definition of a family or on which household members must be included in an assistance unit. States have broad freedom to define these terms. See similar questions...

No. As long as you are cooperating with DCSS, TANF payments and Medi-Cal benefits will be available to you. See similar questions...

In general, states do not impose work requirements or time limits on relative caregivers who do not receive benefits themselves, because they are under no legal obligation to support the child. (If relative caregivers are included in the assistance units, however, and thus the case is not child-only, federal work requirements and time limits do apply. See similar questions...

To receive TANF benefits through the Texas Department of Human Services, recipients must cooperate with the Office of the Attorney General's efforts to identify the child(ren)'s non-custodial parent and collect child support. TANF recipients must also assign to the State the right to collect child support. All payments collected in the case while the family receives TANF benefits are applied toward reimbursing the state and federal governments for TANF benefits received by the family.

Services such as Pre-k, after school and youth development activities for children and teenagers do not require eligibility.

This includes a mother or father whose minor child lives with them, or whose minor child is supported by them if they live outside the home, or a mother and father whose children live with them both.
