INTRODUCTION
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families requirements can be stress-inducing, difficult for families to complete, and may be detrimental during early life. We assessed the impact of TANF requirements on primary caregiving mothers' experiences of material hardship, anxiety, depression, and parental aggravation in the first year of a child's life.
METHODS
Survey responses were selected from mothers in the Future of Families and Childhood Wellbeing Study, who received TANF in the first year of their child's life (N = 1085).
RESULTS
Survey-weighted regression models showed associations between: presence of any requirements and increased material hardship, work requirements and increased material hardship, requirement to name the father of their child and increased depression, benefit cuts and increased parental aggravation, and benefit cuts and increased material hardship.
DISCUSSION
Federal and state policies should revise requirement programs to increase program accessibility and support the mental health and financial stability of mothers applying for TANF to facilitate sustainable movement into employment.
简介
贫困家庭临时援助（TANF）的要求可能会给家庭带来压力，使家庭难以完成，并可能在孩子生命的早期造成不利影响。我们评估了 TANF 要求对主要照顾母亲在孩子生命的第一年中经历物质困难、焦虑、抑郁和父母困扰的影响。
方法
从接受 TANF 的孩子生命第一年的母亲中选择未来家庭和儿童福利研究中的调查应答者（N=1085）。
结果
调查加权回归模型显示：存在任何要求与物质困难增加、工作要求与物质困难增加、要求孩子的父亲姓名与抑郁增加、福利削减与父母困扰增加、以及福利削减与物质困难增加之间存在关联。
讨论
联邦和州政策应修改要求计划，以提高计划的可及性，并支持申请 TANF 的母亲的心理健康和财务稳定，以促进可持续就业。
