TANF Cash Assistance in June 2025: When Will You Get Your Payment and How Much Can You Expect?

For families in financial need, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) can be a critical support system—especially when it comes to covering everyday essentials like rent, food, utilities, and clothing.

With June 2025 TANF payments rolling out, here’s a detailed guide on when your payment might arrive, how much you could receive, and how to check your status.

What Is TANF and Who Qualifies?

TANF is a federal assistance program administered by each state. It provides monthly cash payments to low-income families with children.

The support is intended to be temporary, giving families the resources they need while working toward financial independence.

TANF funds can be used to pay for:

• Food and clothing

• Rent or mortgage

• Utilities

• Transportation and communication services

• Childcare, household supplies, and non-Medicaid medical needs

TANF Payment Dates for June 2025

TANF payments are typically distributed during the first 10 business days of the month, but exact schedules vary by state.

General timeline:

• First payments: Monday, June 2, 2025

• Final payments (in most states): by Friday, June 13, 2025

If payments are delayed beyond this window, the Treasury Department and state agencies may continue issuing deposits throughout the remainder of the month.

TANF Schedules by State (June 2025)

• California: June 1–10

• Texas: June 1

• Florida: June 1–3

• New York: June 1–5

• Illinois: Rolling basis through June 15

To confirm your specific payment date, visit your state’s TANF portal or call your local TANF office.

How Much Will You Receive?

TANF payments vary based on your household income, size, and expenses.

Here’s a general idea of the income limits and examples of monthly benefits:

Income Limits:

• One-parent, one-child family: max monthly income $147

Annual Income Thresholds (for employed families):

Benefit amounts also depend on what the household owns, pays for, and how much it spends on child care and essentials.
