    Exclamation Eligibility for TANF

    My question involves tanf and child support, I have had a child support case filed in my state for 4 months yet the ncp hasn't payed anything and cs can not make her pay because she is on tanf, however in all my reading tanf is a federal grant and all states should have the same guidlines. in my state i am only allowed to be on tanf to a maximum of 24 months befor having to wait 24 months befor reapplying towords my 60 month life time limit, however the ncp has been on the tanf program for a consecutive time of 31 months and still on it even though 14 months were in my state and 17 months in the state she moved to . am i to understand that a federal program can be changed by each state. and even when i call to ask or ask my own states tanf workers nobody wants to explain to me why it is diffrent.

    If you want the benefits that would be available to you in another state, when they're not available in your state, your solution is to move.

    TANF is a federally funded program but administered by each state. States can set eligibility requirements based on the unique situation of the state. No knowing what state you are referring it is hard to respond.
