Rule 96-2-5-.09 - Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)

The purposes of TANF are to provide assistance to needy families so that children can be cared for in their homes; end the dependency of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage; prevent and reduce the incidences of out-of-wedlock pregnancies; and encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families. This funding provides a service delivery system for child victims of commercial sexual exploitation.
