About KittyF

KittyF started this conversation

Hello;

My name is Kathariena Fialho, I am writing on behalf of my 29 yr old daughter Alisha, she is 29, her husband is serving a 10 yr prison sentence, and together they have 5 children.  Alisha works 365 days a yr delivering newspapers.  The pay is poor, not enough to support herself and her 5 children.

If anyone knows of a good homebased business that she can start making money right away, and is free or cost less than $50.00 please let me know.  She is interested in doing phone work, taking inbound calls for orders, or appointments.

Or anything!

Thank You for any and all help you can give.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) provides financial help for children and their parents or relatives who are living with them. Monthly cash payments help pay for food, clothing, housing, utilities, furniture, transportation, telephone, laundry, household equipment, medical supplies not paid for by Medicaid and other basic needs. The amount of the TANF payment depends on family size and income.

[Apply for TANF]

TANF for Families

To receive TANF for Families, a family must be below income and resource limits set for the program. HHSC looks at a family’s income and compares it with the amount the family pays for basic needs such as rent, utilities, child care and work-related expenses. Resources such as cash on hand, money in the bank and type of vehicles are also considered.

Families who are approved for TANF will receive payments for six months. HHSC will send a renewal application to the family before the end of the six months.

Families who receive TANF benefits can also get Medicaid benefits. Families can choose if they want to receive one or both types of benefits.

HHSC provides TANF payments through the Lone Star Card – an electronic debit card that is used like a credit card at the cash register.

The total amount of time the parent or relative can receive TANF ranges from 12 to 36 months and is based on his or her education, work experience, and personal or economic situation. There are no time limits for children.

In most cases, a child must be under 18 years old to receive TANF. If an 18-year-old is a full-time student and is expected to graduate before he or she turns 19, TANF payments may be made until he or she graduates.

If a child’s parent or relative is also approved for TANF, the parent or relative must sign and follow the Personal Responsibility Agreement. By signing the Personal Responsibility Agreement the parent or relative agrees to:

    * Train for a job or look for employment if capable (assistance is provided by the Texas Workforce Commission).
    * Cooperate with child support requirements.
    * Not voluntarily quit a job.
    * Not abuse alcohol or drugs.
    * Take parenting skills classes if required.
    * Get medical screenings and all required immunizations for all children in the household (adults and children who receive TANF can get health care services through Medicaid).
    * Make sure that children are attending school.

One-Time TANF

One-time TANF provides $1,000 in cash for families in crisis. It can be given only once in a 12-month period to those who qualify.

To get a one-time TANF payment, families must meet the same income and resource limits required for “TANF for Families.” Those families who already get TANF payments cannot get a one-time TANF payment.

The purpose of one-time TANF is to help with a short-term crisis such as:

    * Loss of a job.
    * Loss of financial support for a child, such as child support or help paying living expenses (rent, utilities and food).
    * Not being able to find a job after graduating from a university, college, junior college or technical training school.
    * Not being able to get a job because vehicle is not working.
    * Loss of a home.
    * Medical emergency.

One-Time TANF Grandparent Payment

The One-Time TANF Grandparent Payment is $1,000 cash assistance given to a grandparent who cares for a child receiving TANF. To receive this assistance, a grandparent must be 45 years old or older and meet income and resource limits.

A grandparent can only receive this payment once, even though other grandchildren may move into his or her home at a later time. A grandparent cannot receive the payment if another grandparent already received the payment for the same grandchild.

There are companies that do this kind of work but you have to understand that the competition for these types of jobs is high!  I have referred several clients to these type of businesses.  One good (free) place to start looking would be in the business section of your yellow pages book.

But don't overlook the advice that I always like to give and that is to take something that you love and turn that into a business.
