Basic eligibility factors for a child(ren) and a needy parent(s) or caretaker relative include
deprivation, age, property, and residency.
Generally, services are available to:

- Families with a child whose parents are in the home, but the principal earner is unemployed.

The amount of a family's monthly assistance payment depends on several factors, including the number of people who are eligible, special needs of any eligible family members, and the net income of the family.
