Work Requirements: TANF

 

Work Requirements Under TANF:

• Unless a state opts out, non-exempt adult recipients who are not working must participate in community service two months after they start receiving benefits.
• Adults are required to participate in work activities two years after they start receiving assistance under the block grant.
• States may exempt parents with children under 1 from work requirements, and may disregard them in calculating participation rates.
• States may not penalize parents with children under 6 for not working if child care is not available.

The rules governing what activities count toward these work participation rates are complex. In general, participants must do real subsidized or unsubsidized work. Circumstances under which education (except in the case of teen parents), training or job search count toward meeting the requirements are limited.

Usubsidized Work also include Self-employment as well like for expamle:

• Affiliates Programs
• Amazon Associates Affiliate Program
• Youtube Partner Program etc

TITLE III: CHILD SUPPORT

Connection to TANF program: In order to receive the TANF block grant, states must operate a child support enforcement program. Applicants for and recipients of TANF assistance and Medicaid must assign support rights to the state and cooperate with child support enforcement efforts. States must deduct a minimum of 25 percent from a family's cash assistance grant (and may deny cash assistance entirely) for a failure to cooperate with child support without good cause. States that fail to do so will be penalized up to 5 percent of the TANF block grant in the next fiscal year. States are no longer required to pass through $50 of child support collected to recipients. States can pass through any amount they want to the family, but they are also required to reimburse the federal government for its share (about 50%) of any child support collected. Under the "Family First" policy, families no longer receiving cash assistance will have priority in the receipt of past-due child support payments.
