TAFDC is an assistance program for families with dependent children and for pregnant women in the last four months of pregnancy. To be eligible, you must be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen and a resident of Massachusetts.

TAFDC is for families whose incomes and assets are not enough to meet the basic needs of their children. Total countable assets (cash, savings, etc.) cannot be greater than $2500 per family. Income limits depend on your family size, living situation, and ability to work.

You must work a minimum of 20 hours per week to be eligible for TAFDC.

Teen parents must also meet school attendance requirements.
