What is cash assistance?
According to Stark County Job & Family Services, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) uses federal funding to support low-income families with monthly payments. Families can receive up to 36 months of cash assistance – which do not have to be consecutive – as they work their way toward self-sufficiency.
