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.
