The Cash Assistance program provides temporary cash benefits and supportive services to the neediest children and their families. The program helps these families meet their basic needs for well-being and safety and serves as their bridge back to self-sufficiency. Of particular importance for a parent(s) receiving cash benefits is completing and signing a Personal Responsibility Agreement with the Department that specifies their willingness to engage in work activities that will lead to employment and to comply with child support payments, if applicable.
