LOUISIANA Program Description
The Family Independence Temporary Assistance Program (FITAP) provides cash assistance to families with children when the financial resources of the family are insufficient to meet subsistence needs. The overall goal of FITAP is to decrease the long-term dependency on welfare assistance by promoting job preparation and work. Public assistance is an opportunity to become independent after a financial crisis.
The Social Security Act as amended by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 authorizes the Family Independence Temporary Assistance Program. The Department of Health and Human Services is the Federal agency responsible for its administration. The program is administered at the state level by the Department of Social Services, Office of Family Support. Social Services Analysts in the parish offices throughout the state are responsible for processing applications for FITAP, as well as completing re-determinations of eligibility. Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) performs the issuance of FITAP benefits to eligible households.
