TANF CHILD-ONLY
This is a cash assistance program for households with no 'work-eligible adults' . Generally the monthly cash benefits are paid because the child(ren) is living with a relative, referred to as a relative caregiver, because the parent(s) is not in the home or if they are in the home they are ineligible due to citizenship requirements or receiving SSI. An example of a Child-Only case would be an Aunt applying for assistance on behalf of her niece who is in her care and supervision. While Child-Only benefits are considered a form of assistance, they are not subject to time limits.
