Home & Family: Welfare Reform
What is TANF?
The Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TANF) program, administered by the Mississippi Department
of Human Services (MDHS), provides money payments and Medicaid for families
with needy children without regard to race, creed, or national origin.
Monthly TANF payments are made for children and their needy caretaker
relatives who do not have enough income or resources to meet their everyday
needs by state standards.
