Quick Facts
What is it
Temporary Assistance (TA) consists of two programs that provide cash and other services to help needy adults and children. If you are unable to work, can't find a job, or your job does not pay enough, TA may be able to help you pay for your expenses and improve your financial situation.

What do I get?
In addition to cash assistance, families receiving TA may also get help with childcare, transportation, medical care, and job training. The amount of the cash payments depends on your income and household size.

How long do I get it?
Most families can receive TA for a total of 5 years.
