TANF Jobs Program

The Jobs Program is Arizona’s required employment and training program for people who can work and receive TANF Cash Assistance. The program helps people build job skills through work-related activities. It may also provide support services to help remove barriers to employment. These services are provided to help participants find a job and become independent as soon as possible.

Equus Workforce Services provides case management and employment services for the Jobs Program.

Eligibility

Once approved (or pre-approved in some cases) for Cash Assistance benefits, all work-eligible individuals are referred to the TANF Jobs Program to receive case management and employment services.

In most cases, taking part in Jobs Program work activities is required to receive Cash Assistance.
