Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA)/Work Pays
The TEA Program is a time-limited assistance program to help needy families with children become more responsible for their own support and less dependent on public assistance. In addition to monthly cash assistance, employment-related services are provided to parents, including job-readiness activities, transportation assistance, childcare assistance, and other supportive services so that the parent can engage in work or education and training activities.
The Division of County Operations is responsible for administering the program and determining the eligibility for cash assistance payments for the Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA) and Work Pays Programs.
