Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Financial Assistance Program
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) provides financial assistance to low-income families with children under age 18 or under age 19 if the child is a full-time student. Assistance may come in the form of monthly or lump sum cash assistance or a loan depending on eligibility requirements. TANF is administered in Nevada through the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services. TANF predates COVID-19, and can be used by eligible participants at this time.
