Program Description
The Nevada Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program is a federally funded block grant program through the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). It is designed to provide temporary assistance for needy families so dependent children may be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relative caretakers. TANF furnishes financial, medical and support services such as child care, transportation and other supports for families that are not employed, underemployed or unable to work. Federal law allows a five-year lifetime limit.
Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of the state of Nevada, either pregnant or responsible for a child under 19 years of age, a U.S. national, citizen, legal alien, or permanent resident, have low or very low income, and be either under-employed (working for very low wages), unemployed or about to become unemployed.
Application Process
You can go to your local welfare office to pick/file an application or you may request an application be mailed to you. The application may be mailed, dropped off or faxed and may be used to apply for any and all programs listed on the form.
