How it works
How TANF cash assistance works in Alabama
TANF cash assistance uses household details and income rules to estimate whether a household is inside the current Alabama limit. The table above is generated from the same threshold dataset loaded by the screener.
The screener adds household details such as children, pregnancy, rent or mortgage, and utilities before sending one API request for an estimate.
TANF cash assistance income limits changed in August 2026: the limit for a household of 2 rose from $4,550 to $5,200, with 6 other household size(s) also adjusted.
