Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

PCG Human Services works with state and local clients to improve their TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) programs through a variety of innovative and effective consulting services to enhance compliance with federal regulations, financial performance, and programmatic efficiency.

PCG Human Services can maximize the recovery of funds and assess structural and fiscal issues that impede your agency or county’s ability to maximize its revenue. We can also help ensure your agency’s practices are compliant with all federal and state regulations, including Office of Management and Budget (OMB) A-87 (2 CFR Part 225).

 

PCG Human Services experienced consultants can stretch your funding by developing new financing mechanisms for program activities currently paid with TANF that are eligible to be paid by uncapped entitlement funds. Replacing the TANF dollars with entitlement funds enables you to use TANF dollars to fund program activities not eligible for other types of funding, resulting in a net benefit to the state.

For over a decade, PCG Human Services has identified, verified, and documented nontraditional sources for TANF Maintenance of Effort (MOE) that TANF agencies have used to meet both base MOE requirements and for Excess MOE to lower their Target Work Participation Rate (WPR), thereby avoiding federal penalties.

PCG Human Services can help you achieve up to 70% SSI/SSDI disability allowance rates at initial application from the Social Security Administration (SSA) in the shortest possible time, and with the least disruption to your organization. SSI/SSDI has proven to offer TANF clients with significant disabilities better outcomes toward Additionally, PCG found in one engagement that approximately every 15 TANF clients made SSI eligible results in a 1% increase in the WPR.

PCG Human Services has worked with TANF administrators to develop structural changes to the TANF program in order to improve client outcomes, administrative performance, and compliance with state and federal laws and regulation. PCG’s work includes a complete program redesign in Tennessee and an innovative TANF diversion program in San Diego County.
