Beginning 03/01/2025, IES will use the new IED amounts to determine initial financial eligibility for TANF at intake or Program Add for cash requests. The IED is increased due to the revised 2025 FPL. The IED is equal to the difference between 50% of the monthly FPL for the applicant's family size and the TANF payment level. Current IED amounts can be found in WAG 25-03-02(3). Historical IED amounts can be found in WAG 25-06-18.
When TANF is determined using Parent Liability, Ineligible Parent or Excluded Spouse, the IED amount that corresponds to the family unit size of the employed person is used. See examples in WAG 08-01-02-b.
