Arizona Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Cash Assistance (CA)

The Arizona Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Cash Assistance (CA) program is dedicated to supporting the most vulnerable children and families throughout Scottsdale, AZ. By providing temporary cash benefits and essential supportive services, we strive to help families meet their basic needs for well-being and safety, paving their path toward self-sufficiency. Our program offers a range of services, including temporary cash benefits, ensuring families have the resources they need during challenging times. Applications are easily accessible via our online application center, through mail or fax to the nearest Department of Economic Security office, or by requesting a paper application by phone. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have temporarily suspended work requirements for Nutrition and Cash Assistance recipients to better address the impact on employment opportunities. While our offices remain closed to the public, we are committed to delivering our services effectively online and over the phone, ensuring continued support for those in need.
