TANF...

edited June 2011 in Pregnant
Can somebody please explain how this works. I know that the baby daddy has to pay it back, but what are the guidelines and how much can you get?

    IT'S DIFFERENT IN EACH STATE AND IN EACH CIRCUMSTANCE YOUR IN. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND IN FLORIDA YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GET IT UNTIL YOUR 9TH MONTH UNLESS YOU ARE 6 MONTHS OR FURTHER AND YOUR DOCTOR FILLS OUT A PAPER STATING THAT YOU WILL NOT MAKE IT TO YOUR 9TH MONTH. AS FAR AS (BD) PAYING IT BACK THAT'S TRUE ONLY IF YOU PUT HIM ON (CS).
    Oh and you have to be on bed rest if your working you can not get it and the most I have ever heard of a person getting was $300.00
    HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.
