Description

Is the federally-funded public assistance program for families. Family Assistance can only be provided to a family that includes a minor child living with a parent or caretaker, relative, or to a pregnant woman. Eligibility is based on financial need including resource restrictions. Participation does include elements of work requirements as well as child support enforcement. Participation in the Family Assistance in most cases is subject to a sixty-month time limit. In many cases, transitional benefits are available for households ending participation in the Family Assistance Program. This does include continuation of food stamps and medical assistance coverage, as well as potential payments that address supportive needs to maintain employment.
