A Programs Administered by FAA - Cash Assistance (CA) - Overview
The purpose of the CA program is to provide temporary cash assistance and
supportive services to eligible participants in the following groups:
●Parents or specified relatives with dependent children under age 19 who are in their care
●Parents of a child who receives SSI
FAA is responsible for determining CA eligibility and eligibility for some
Tribal TANF programs.
When CA participants have the potential to become self-supporting with a onetime payment,
Grant Diversion must be offered as an option. All CA applications are screened for potential Grant Diversion eligibility.
The Grant Diversion Script and Applicant Agreement (FAA-1410A) form or the GD Applicant Agreement and Script (A029) notice must be completed, even when the participant declines the Grant Diversion option.
