Rev. 4/2025 may also be used to help the district identify appropriate activities that a TANF eligible individual may participate in to overcome their employment-related limitations. TANF funds may be used for these purposes even if the evaluation is conducted by a medical professional because these activities are necessary program requirements of the administering agency and are not solely a service to the individual. TANF funds may not be used to provide a medical service, including any medical service that is identified as an activity that may help the individual overcome limitations or to assess an individual who is not eligible to receive TANF funded non-assistance. For example, although TANF funds may be used to identify any limitation (e.g., the inability to lift heavy objects) and to recommend a general course of action to overcome the limitation (e.g., physical therapy), TANF funds may not be used to provide a medical service to overcome the limitation (e.g., fund the physical therapy).
