Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program is Title I of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA). TANF is the federal block grant program that provides states with the authority and funding to create programs that promote work and provide time-limited assistance to needy families with children.

Trial Employment Match Program

A W-2 employment position that provides participants with subsidized work experience and on-the-job training. The W-2 agency pays the employer a wage subsidy to help offset the costs of wages, benefits, supervision or training. W-2 participants are paid directly by the employer and earn at least minimum wage. The W-2 placement types are Custodial Parent Trial Employment Match Program (TMP) and Noncustodial Parent Trial Employment Match Program  (TNP)

Trial Job Placement (TJB)

An obsolete W-2 employment position that provided subsidized work experience and training to improve the employability of individuals who otherwise would not be able to obtain unsubsidized employment. The W-2 agency paid a participating employer a Trial Job subsidy of up to $300 per month for full-time employment. The Trial Employment Match Program (TEMP) placement replaced the Trial Job Placement effective March 1, 2016. (See Operations Memo 16-03)
