Households must meet the net income test in order to be eligible for TANF. This test compares the adjusted net income to the Total TANF Standard of Need (which includes the $45 personal needs allowance for out-of-home TANF eligible individuals, and special items of need).   

• If the adjusted net income is greater than or equal to the Total TANF Standard of Need, the household does not meet the financial eligibility criteria and the household is ineligible for TANF benefits.

• If the adjusted net income is less than the Total TANF Standard of Need, the household meets the financial eligibility criteria. If all other factors of eligibility are met, the TANF benefit is calculated.
