Adults in the State Family Pre-SSI (SFPSS) program, including both adults in a two-parent household, are not subject to JOBS participation requirements or TANF time limits. Families in the SFPSS program are no longer considered TANF families. However, they have access to JOBS activities and support services. They would be considered JOBS volunteers.

Receipt of other Social Security programs such as Social Security based on a disability (SSDI) or Social Security based on retirement, widow’s benefits or a parent’s or spouse’s disability benefits (SSB) does not prevent an individual from receiving TANF.
