Answer: below

Step-by-step explanation:

Cash assistance:

-Varies greatly from state to state

-Assistance largely depends on the size of the

family, income, and shelter costs.

-Only one parent is counted in family size, even if both

parents are able to work

-First $200/month of income is not counted

-Incentive to work

Funded services:

- Child care

- Transportation

- Mental health counseling

- Child abuse prevention and early intervention

- Eligibility for TANF-funded services

- For families not receiving cash assistance and are at 200% of the

poverty line.

- $3,299 per month for a family of three
