TANF Best Practices Handbook

The National Eligibility Worker’s Association (NEW: PATHS) received a grant from the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) to develop a handbook of best practices for the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program.

Most published “best practices” focus on programmatic or agency procedures – things that are often out of the immediate control of the staff that are key to implementing your TANF program.

The handbook will feature proven techniques that have assisted families to become independent from program support and that allow workers to maximize their time and resources.

Our best practice guide focuses on five major components of TANF and we ask that you share your practices about any or all of them. Just click on the topics below for more details.

We believe this is an incredible vehicle to share proven techniques from around the country. Be a part of the action!
