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

Arizona Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Cash Assistance (CA) delivers essential cash support and services to the most vulnerable children and families in Thatcher, AZ. Focusing on helping these families secure their basic needs, our program provides temporary cash benefits along with vital supportive services aimed at fostering self-sufficiency. Applications for assistance can be easily submitted online, by mail, or via fax to your local Department of Economic Security office. For those who prefer a paper application, we are happy to mail one upon request. In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we've temporarily suspended work requirements for cash assistance recipients to address the challenges of employment during these unprecedented times. Though our offices are currently closed to in-person visits, we remain dedicated to providing comprehensive support online and over the phone, ensuring accessible assistance for those in need.
