Cash Programs
A person who qualifies for TANF and AABD must choose one program or the other. See Note below. Persons potentially eligible for more than one program are advised of the program differences.
An adult who qualifies for SSI cannot choose to receive TANF. Note: A person required to be in a TANF case with their child or sibling cannot choose AABD.
A caretaker relative who chooses SSI for the only child in an otherwise eligible TANF unit may receive TANF if there is insufficient income to meet the caretaker relative's needs.
