OFA Issue Brief: TANF and Work-Study

OFA announces the publication of an issue brief with information and examples of how TANF agencies can support postsecondary completion for TANF recipients through funding work-study programs. Through work-study, TANF recipients may gain vital income support while working toward postsecondary credentials and obtain relevant work experience that can improve their chances of finding a job that provides economic stability. Also, work-study programs can help state TANF agencies engage TANF recipients attending college in more activities that count toward required state work participation rates.
