TANF-NEON
This is the state's cash assistance program for families with a 'work-eligible adults' in the home. Most parents and needy relative caregivers are defined as 'work-eligible' by federal regulation and are required to meet work participation requirements as a condition of eligibility. For this reason it is commonly referred to as our 'work program'. The work-eligible-adults must enter into a Personal Responsibility Plan for reducing or ending their household's dependency on public assistance. Adult(s), unless they meet an exemption, will be required to engage in a defined number of hours of work activities every week to maintain eligibility for cash benefits. TANF-NEON benefits are considered assistance and are subject to time limits.
