With TANF payments for June 2025 now being processed, here’s a full breakdown of when families can expect their deposit, how much they might receive, and where to check their benefit status.

 

What TANF Is—and Who It Helps

TANF is a state-run program funded by the federal government, designed to provide temporary cash assistance to low-income families with children.

It supports families as they work toward financial stability and self-sufficiency.

TANF funds can help with:

  • Food and groceries

  • Rent or mortgage payments

  • Utilities and phone bills

  • Childcare costs

  • Basic transportation

  • Essential household needs not covered by Medicaid

 

June 2025 TANF Payment Schedule for Families

Most states aim to complete TANF payments within the first 10 business days of the month, though exact dates vary by location.

General payment window:

  • Start: Monday, June 2, 2025

  • End: By Friday, June 13, 2025

If any delays occur, state agencies may continue issuing deposits through the end of June.

 

TANF Payment Dates by State (June 2025)

Each state sets its own payment timeline. Here’s what some of the most common schedules look like:

  • California: June 1–10

  • Texas: June 1

  • Florida: June 1–3

  • New York: June 1–5

  • Illinois: Rolling basis through June 15

Tip: Check your state’s TANF portal or call your local office to get your specific payment date.

 

How Much Will Your Family Receive?

TANF benefit amounts depend on family size, monthly income, expenses, and other factors.

While each state calculates this differently, here are some general guidelines:

Monthly income limits (examples):

  • One-parent, one-child family: max $147/month

  • Two-parent, two-child family: max $503/month

Annual income limits for working families:

  • 1 parent, 1 child: below $2,609/year

  • 2 parents, 2 children: below $6,275/year

States also consider your rent, bills, and how much you spend on child care when calculating your final benefit amount.

 

How to Track Your TANF Payment

To confirm your payment status or report an issue:

  • Log into your state’s TANF account portal

  • Call or visit your local TANF office

  • Monitor your bank or EBT card for direct deposits

If you haven’t received your payment by the middle of the month and you believe you’re eligible, reach out to your local office immediately.
