EXPLANATION OF PROGRAMS
TEMPORY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES (TANF): Consist of three programs: Job Supplement Program (JSP) provides options to a cash grant such as Medicaid coverage, child care assistance or a one-time employment-related payment; Pathways Program a time limited monthly cash grant and opportunities leading to self-sufficiency; and Community Services Program (CSP) a cash assistance program designed for individuals who have used all of their Pathways benefits but have not achieved self-sufficiency.
SNAP (FS): This program supplements the food costs of low income households with SNAP that are redeemable for groceries. This data is reported by household (case), recipient, and amount. There are two kinds of assistance: Public-Assistance -- food stamp households in which all members receive income from TANF or SSI. All other SNAP are considered Non-Assistance. Amounts reflect the actual value of coupons issued.
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE (MEDICAID)*: Payment of medical costs for TANF and SSI individuals and families, and for others who qualify. Each person is counted as a case. Cases are unduplicated by county and by state. For example, if a case moves between counties, the case would be counted in both counties, but only once in the state total. For Table 6 'Child' refers to children under 19 years of age and is comprised of TANF, Foster care, Ribicoff, Poverty level infant, and Subsidized adoption children.
LOW INCOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (LIEAP): Direct payment to fuel vendors for heating on behalf of low income families and senior citizens. The season runs from October 1 through April 30.
