Methodology & data sources
Federal rules and amounts come from USDA's Food and Nutrition Administration (formerly the Food and Nutrition Service), HHS's Administration for Children and Families, the Code of Federal Regulations and the U.S. Code. State program names, agencies, application links, phone lines, decision deadlines and TANF grant amounts were read on October 26, 2026 from each state's own pages, manuals or rules, and each state page lists its sources. Where we could not confirm a fact, the page leaves it out.
