Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children (TAFDC) Table of Need and Payment Standards 704.410-704.420

From September 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024, inclusive, the appropriate Need and Payment Standard shall be increased by $500 for each eligible applicant and client under age 19.

Note: Due to a nonrecurring $500 clothing allowance in September 2024 for each eligible applicant or client under age 19. The Need and Payment Standards specified in 106 CMR 704.410 and 106 CMR 704.420 are therefore increased by $500.
