TANF Transportation Expense Assistance

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program provides eligible families with a monthly cash payment to meet their basic needs. Participants may be provided with services such as help with transportation.  Other services may include  job skills training, work experience, job readiness training, child care assistance, transportation, and other work related expenses.   

The TANF program initiative has time to limited benefits, a strong work requirement, and a social contract that sets out the responsibilities of and expectations for recipients of public assistance and the government.
