What if my spouse or the parent of my child(ren) is in the home? Can I still receive assistance?
(Return to Questions) You may apply for and receive TANF or TANF-Related Medicaid as a two parent household if all financial and non-financial program requirements are met. The two parent TANF cash assistance is counted in the state and federal time limits. If one or both parents are incapacitated and it is determined a “qualified hardship”, the TANF cash assistance payments may not count toward the time limits.. Some parents are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and are only eligible for Medicaid. Their children may receive TANF cash assistance which does not count toward the time limits.
