Federal regulations require a SSN or application for a SSN for each individual determined eligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The individual's needs are included in the TANF benefit with a 25% penalty reduction of the payment standard until a SSN is applied for or provided for that individual(s). The 25% penalty is removed effective the date the SSN is applied for or provided.
