A10: Yes. If a jurisdiction receives emergency funds, then it may use those funds in any manner that is reasonably calculated to accomplish a purpose of the TANF program. One TANF purpose is to prevent and reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies. Teen pregnancy prevention activities would be reasonably calculated to accomplish this purpose.
