Stimulus Payments October: Which states are sending checks?

The Arizona Cash Assistance – Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program is designed to help needy families achieve self-sufficiency. States receive grants to design and operate programs that accomplish one of the purposes of the TANF program.

The four purposes of the TANF program are to:

  • Assist needy families so that children can be cared for in their own homes
  • Reduce the dependency of impoverished parents by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage
  • Prevent and reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies
  • Encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families

Note: TANF is sometimes referred to by state-specific names, such as the Arizona Cash Assistance Program.
