WorkSource Online TANF Work Registration
Welcome! Before completing the online orientation for TANF you must first apply for TANF on the ACCESS Florida website.
Only complete this orientation AFTER you have applied for TANF benefits.
Please read carefully and complete all the instructions provided below. We want to process your application as quickly as possible. Help us help you by carefully completing each step. Not completing a step will only delay your application for TANF. Remember, only completed applications can be approved by the Department of Children and Families. You will not receive cash benefits until your application is approved.
It is important that you have a personal email address. After being approved for TANF, most communication between you and your caseworker will take place via email or scheduled call-in appointments. Agreeing to use email as a method to talk with us will reduce the number of scheduled visits to our centers and will allow you to send and receive information with us quicker.
If you do not have an email address you can obtain one through Gmail or Hotmail (both are free.)
Our Market St Center is now closed to customers. If you need help in setting up a personal email, or need assistance in completing this process, you can visit any of our WorkSource Career Centers or Mobile Access Points. Find a list of these sites on our location page.
If you feel that you have been treated unfairly at any point in the work registration process, you have the right to file a grievance. Here is the grievance form:FCWD GRIEVANCE FORM
Up-Front Diversion Screen Form (option)
In some cases, a family may be able to avoid applying for TANF by receiving help in addressing an immediate emergency situation. If the emergency is avoided, you may be in a better position to obtain or keep a job. An Up-front Diversion is an alternative to cash assistance and may be what you need. If you believe an Up-front Diversion would help you, and you feel you may qualify for one, please call (904) 213-3900 or (386) 385-4544 (if in Palatka) for more information.
You will need to complete the Up-Front Diversion form if you qualify.
If you do not want to apply for Up-Front Diversion please continue below.
