OREGON Program Description
The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program provides cash assistance to low income families with children while they strive to become self-sufficient. The goal of the program is to reduce the number of families living in poverty, through employment services and community resources. To qualify for TANF, families must have very few assets and little or no income. The current maximum monthly benefit for a family of three is $503. Benefits are distributed through the state's Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system, which allows clients to obtain benefits through grocery store card-scanning devices and ATM machines, using an "Oregon Trail Card." Many families in the TANF program must participate in the JOBS employment and training program, which helps them prepare for and find work. They may also receive help with problems around housing, childcare, alcohol or drug abuse, domestic-violence and other factors that affect family stability. In addition, DHS helps clients obtain child support from absent parents. The Children, Adults and Families group of the Department of Human Services (DHS) administer the TANF program. Services to clients are provided through DHS offices across the state, which are operated by the DHS Community Human Services group.
