Cash Assistance Family/TANF

The WFNJ/TANF assistance program is designed specifically to emphasize personal responsibility, instill dignity, promote self-sufficiency and pride through work, and strongly reinforce all parents’ responsibility for their children through strict enforcement of child support requirements. Aside from certain categories of Federally-exempt individuals, assistance benefits provided to adults under the WFNJ/TANF program are limited to a lifetime maximum of 60 cumulative months, and are considered a temporary cash subsidy to bridge the gap while individuals seek and obtain self-sufficiency through unsubsidized employment. WFNJ/TANF works to provide enhanced post-TANF supports such as child care, transportation, housing, medical assistance and case management to help ensure recipients do not return to the cash assistance welfare program.
