Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
Wisconsin TANF State Plans
On August 22, 1996, Wisconsin was the first state in the nation to submit its state plan for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant. That plan was certified as complete and Wisconsin qualified as an "eligible State" for purposes of receiving TANF block grant funding as of September 30, 1996. To remain eligible for TANF funding, Wisconsin has continued to submit new two-year FFY plans. The TANF State Plan for FFY 2006 - FFY 2007 was approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF) on December 13, 2006. This approval is effective until December 31, 2009, per ACF Transmittal Number TANF-ACF-PA-98-3.
