Washington TANF & Welfare Offices
Updated August 2026
In Washington, TANF cash assistance is administered through DSHS Community Services Offices, which together with WorkFirst partner sites make up 53 offices across 47 cities statewide. A three-person family's gross earned income must stay under $1,912 a month to remain eligible, and the maximum monthly TANF payment for that household size is $706. Nearly every approved household is also enrolled in WorkFirst, the state's mandatory employment program, so the same offices that process cash-aid applications also run job-search referrals and work-plan reviews. Most applicants apply online through Washington Connection, but the phone line doubles as a full application channel — the same number handles applications, interviews, and questions about an existing case.
