TANF in Kansas is called the Successful Families Program
The Successful Families Program offers employment services and support services to low-income families. That support may include cash assistance. The family is defined as including a child who may be living with a parent, relative, or person named by a court to take care of the child, such as a guardian, conservator, or custodian. Certain eligibility requirements for participation are identified below.

To receive help from the Successful Families Program, a family must have the following:
Families must have at least one child in the home under the age of 18 (including an unborn baby).
Families must meet income requirements. Your worker will tell you what types of income you are required to report.
Families must meet limited resource requirements. Your worker will review what assets you have. Some resources are not counted, such as:
the home in which the family lives
assets valued at less than $2,500
furniture, personal items, and some tools

Cash Assistance
Cash assistance is also known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).

The amount of cash benefit provided depends upon the family’s income and the county where the family lives.

Families may get cash assistance while they look for work as long as they meet program requirements. The requirements include cooperating with DCF Child Support Services Division. Families who get TANF may also get medical benefits and child care.
