Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program (KTAP)

The TANF Program in Kentucky is called the Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program (KTAP).

KTAP payments to families are based on family size and income. In addition to the monetary grant, KTAP recipients also may qualify for supportive services such as childcare and transportation assistance through the Kentucky Works program.

To qualify for KTAP, an applicant must have low or very low income, be a Kentucky resident, U.S. citizens or qualified alien, unemployed or under employed (working for very low wages), a parent/relative caregiver responsible for children up to age 18 (or 19 if school attendance requirements are met).
