What Is TANF?

TANF is a federally funded, state-administered program that provides monthly financial assistance to eligible low-income families with children.

The goal is to help families cover basic living costs while they work toward economic independence.

TANF funds can be used for:

• Groceries and clothing

• Rent or mortgage payments

• Utility bills

• Transportation and communication services (e.g., phone, internet)

• Childcare and non-Medicaid medical supplies

 

When Are TANF Payments Issued in June 2025?

TANF payments are typically disbursed during the first 10 business days of the month, though schedules vary by state.

General timeline:

• First payments: Begin Monday, June 2, 2025

• Final payments (in most states): No later than Friday, June 13, 2025

If payments are delayed, the Treasury Department and local agencies may continue issuing deposits throughout the rest of the month.
