New Hampshire Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)

Program Description
The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program (TANF) provides cash assistance to families with dependent children through either the Family Assistance Program (FAP) or the New Hampshire Employment Program (NHEP). To qualify, the dependent children must lack parental support or care due to death, continued absence or because one or both parents in a two-parent home are disabled, unemployed or working less than 100 hours a month.
Parents of families eligible for TANF cash assistance are also eligible for Medicaid; children of TANF eligible families are eligible for Healthy Kids Gold medical coverage. Families eligible for TANF are also eligible for Emergency Assistance that can help them get and keep safe and secure housing.
