Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Temporary Assistance for Other Needy | State of Hawaii Department of Human Services - Lihue

Description

(TANF, TAONF) The federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program provides temporary cash assistance to eligible families. The monthly cash assistance given to families may be used to pay for food, clothing, housing and utility expenses, and other daily needs. Eligible families include at least one specified relative adult and a minor dependent child who resides in the same home. In addition, family members must be US citizens. The State of Hawaii Temporary Assistance for Other Needy Families (TAONF) Program provides the same benefits and services to Hawaii’s vulnerable families with children as the TANF program. The TAONF program eligibility includes mixed citizens and non-citizens, and single- and two-parent households. For more information visit the website, https://humanservices.hawaii.gov/bessd/tanf/ or https://humanservices.hawaii.gov/bessd/. Applications can be done for both the TANF or TAONF and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on the same form at the same time. Please check the boxes for the programs you want to apply for.
