The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program is intended to move low-income families from public assistance to self-sufficiency by providing cash assistance along with work readiness, training and job placement services. The Job Opportunities and Basic Skills (JOBS) Program is a companion program that focuses on work-readiness, training and job placement services. The department contracts with Job Service North Dakota to provide these services to JOBS participants. For additional information regarding the TANF/JOBS Programs, visit our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) page. In addition, the publications page also contains policy manuals, news, and reports. To apply for TANF, complete the Application for Assistance and/or contact your local County Social Service Office . To find out if you may be eligible for other state and federal programs, visit GovBenefits and complete the online survey. This is only a screening tool, and not all North Dakota programs are included in the GovBenefits tool. To determine if you are eligible for financial assistance programs in North Dakota, you must complete the application process. Office Hours: 7:45 to 5 MT / M-F

Good evening, I am contacting you in regards to a small Riverdale Quilt Club in Riverdale, north of Bismarck. We were wondering how many families suffered total loss of their procession in the apartment building fire recently. Depending of the number we may be willing to donate some quilts. These are nice homemade quilts given to hospice, Ronald McDonald home, Women’s and Youth Abuse Shelters. Thank you for your time, Colette Anderson
