Temporary assistance to poor families, formerly known as "assistance to families with dependent children", may, with approval, be provided to eligible persons.
It provides a maximum grant of $229 per month for an eligible child and a needy relative, $59 for each additional child, and $59 for a disabled parent living at home.
An eligible child living with an ineligible relative may receive a maximum of USD 139 per month. Each additional eligible child in the home can receive a maximum of USD 59.
The full amount of medical services provided under the Medicaid plan is available to each TANF recipient.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance program is called LIHEAP. They assist low income people and families with their heating and cooling bills. This program is therefore, a year long program that is available 12 months a year.
To qualify for the LIHEAP assistance, you need to qualify. We provide the current Federal Poverty Rates nationwide below.
You are automatically qualified for LIHEAP assistance if you participate in the SNAP food stamps program, TANF Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or the SSI program through Social Security.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get legal aid from some offices, they use a sliding fee scale. When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
