Temporary assistance is the cash component of the Assistance Programs. Consumers receive a cash benefit either paid to them or to a vendor to pay for specific household needs. Household composition, resources, and income levels will affect the amount of the shelter, heat, utility and other payments made for eligible families and individuals.
