TANF uses a standardized and simplified method for determining need. The TANF Basic Standard of Need is applied to all households. The six basic items of need, which represent 100% of the TANF Basic Standard of Need as currently defined by the department, are:

• Shelter;
• Food;
• Clothing;
• Personal needs (e.g. combs, toothbrushes, razor blades, sanitary supplies, and haircuts);
• Household supplies (e.g. cooking utensils, laundry, bedding, and towels); and
• Fuel and utilities.
