TDHS assisting needy families The Tennessee Department of Human Services (TDHS) is giving more families an opportunity to apply for a program that’s already provided valuable financial assistance to thousands across the state who’ve been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. TDHS has extended that deadline to apply for Emergency Cash Assistance until Saturday August 29. The Emergency Cash Assistance program provides two months of cash payments to families, funded by Tennessee’s surplus Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funding and provides: • $500 for a household of 1 to 2 persons. • $750 for a household of 3 to 4 persons. • $1000 for a household with 5 or more persons. To be eligible, families must have been employed as of March 11, 2020 but have since lost employment or at least 50% of their earned income due to the COVID-19 emergency, include a child under the age of 18 or a pregnant woman, have a valid Social Security Number, must not have resources exceeding $2000, and the gross and/or unearned monthly income may not exceed 85% of the State’s Median Income. Families can apply online at https://tdhs.service-now.com/relief?id=relief_registration . Individuals who have already received Emergency Cash Assistance should not reapply. The program provides a maximum of two months of benefits.
