text: The total unduplicated number of children under age 18 receiving Temporary Family Assistance (TFA) benefits at any point in the year in a town or county within Connecticut. Eligible children include those in families whose parent(s) is enrolled in the employment-focused, time-limited assistance program (Jobs First); has received an extension from the Jobs First program; or is exempt from the Jobs First program. Exemption can be obtained if the adult is a parent who is incapacitated, is taking care of an incapacitated family member, or is a non-parent caregiver not receiving assistance.
  Distinct count-totals and percentages of children receiving TFA were obtained from the Connecticut Department of Social Services. Counts under 6 - excluding 0 - were suppressed.
