TANF benefits are figured based on individual state guidelines and dependent on factors such as family size, earned and unearned income, and housing expenses. The Florida TCA program provides monetary benefits for a maximum of 48 months to recipients who participate in work-related activities for at least 30 hours a week. The maximum monthly TANF benefit ranges between $95 and $610 per month.
Eligible applicants must have a gross income that is 185% or less of the Federal Poverty Level. Additionally, income cannot be higher than the payment standard for a family of the same size. Those who receive benefits and retain a job will receive an additional earned income deduction.
Federal poverty level is $11,670 a year, so you can make up to $11/hr and still qualify for welfare, although it is all a sliding scale for the payout based on earned income.
The reality is, nobody on welfare isn't working and those who are, aren't getting shit for money, at least in my state.
