WELFARE TRANSITION PROGRAM (TANF)

Welfare Transition Program (TANF) Requirements

Florida’s Welfare Transition Program emphasizes work, self-sufficiency, and personal responsibility to enable participants to move from welfare to work. The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program provides cash benefits to eligible families with dependent children. Additional TANF support may include assistance with childcare and transportation, diversion services, job training, and employment services.

The goal of the Welfare Transition Program/ CareerSource NEFL is to engage participants in their efforts to seek employment, training and resources to eliminate barriers to employment.

CareerSource NEFL oversees the Welfare Transition program in Duval, St. Johns, Putnam, Baker, Clay, and Nassau Counties in partnership with FloridaCommerce.
