Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network, Inc. is hosting a virtual training entitled Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) 101, on Tuesday, July 30, 2024 from 11:00 AM-12:00 PM Eastern.

This session will be a primer on the TANF cash assistance program in Pennsylvania for those who are interested in learning about financial assistance available to low-income families, but have little or no experience with welfare programs.  

The session will include a description of the benefits offered by the TANF program; brief reference to the laws, federal and state, that govern it; basic eligibility requirements; and how to apply. 

The program will also cover several features somewhat unique to the TANF program: (i) the child support cooperation requirement; (ii) work requirements; and (ii) the Family Violence Option (FVO). 

Presenters: 

• Peter Zurflieh, CJP 
• Laura Handal Schwartz, HELP – MLP
