About this resource
This initiative provides financial aid to low-income families with children as they work towards becoming self-sufficient. The cash assistance is designed to cover essential needs such as food, clothing, housing, and utilities. Participants in the TANF program may also have the opportunity to engage in the Jobs Opportunity and Basic Skills (JOBS) program, which aids in obtaining a high school diploma or GED, along with job readiness and life skills training.
Intake Procedure: Applications can be submitted online, via phone, or in person at a local office (note that Processing Centers do not provide in-person services). After submitting the application: - The local DHS office will reach out to the applicant to arrange an in-person or phone interview. - Applicants can also initiate contact with the local DHS office to schedule their interview. - DHS representatives are unable to leave messages on voicemails that do not include the applicant's name in the greeting.
Fees: There are no associated fees.
Who can use this
- To qualify, applicants must be low-income families with children under 18 or pregnant women in their ninth month, reside in Oregon, and have minimal income and resources; US citizenship or qualified non-citizen status is required.
Documents you may need
- Proof of ID, proof of income, Social Security numbers (SSN) for all members of the family who want benefits, and proof of immigration status (if applicable).
