Through the Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) program, families with children under the age of 18 (or under the age of 19 if they are in full-time high school) can get cash help if they meet certain technical, income, and asset requirements.
The program helps families become self-sufficient while letting the children stay in their own homes. People who want to work for TCA must live in Florida and either have a social security number or proof that they have applied for one.
Here are the terms and conditions that pregnant women and families should consider to get the TCA payment
Expectant mothers can also get TCA, either in the ninth month of pregnancy or in the third trimester if they can not work. Those who live together must apply, along with their kids and younger siblings.
People who want to get TCA benefits must meet a number of requirements. This is one of the most important requirements because cash aid for individuals is limited to 48 months over the course of their lifetime. For “child-only” cases, on the other hand, there is no time limit and the case is not processed.
This difference is very important because it recognizes the unique needs of children in these situations. Unless they are exempt, some beneficiaries are also required to do things related to their jobs.
Regional workforce boards are very important in this situation because they offer the services and activities that people need to get or keep a job. Between the first and the 28th of every month, TCA will be sent to people through the EBT program based on the Florida case number that the state gives them.

What are the eligibility rules to qualify for the TCA payment?

- Time Limits: For adults, cash aid is only available for a lifetime total of 48 months (except for child-only instances, which are time-independent).

- Income and Deductions: Countable income cannot exceed the family size payment threshold, and gross income cannot exceed 185% of the federal poverty level. A $90 deduction is made from an individual’s gross earned income.

- Residents must be residents of the state of Florida.
- SSN: People are required to present their Social Security Number or documentation that they have applied for one.

- Relationship: A child must reside in a home that is run by a parent or other family member who is the child’s biological relative.
- Child Support Cooperation: To prove a child’s legal relationship to their parent, find the parent or parents who do not reside in the child’s home, and obtain a court order requiring child support payments, the parent or a caregiver relative of the children must work with child support enforcement.
