In Florida, if you're receiving Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA), you're likely eager to know when your help for July 2025 will arrive. This money is crucial for many families' budgets.
TCA is a program in Florida aimed at giving monthly financial support to families with kids under 18 (or 19 if they're still in high school), pregnant women meeting certain conditions, or people who permanently take care of children they're legally responsible for.
Are You Eligible for TCA in Florida? Here's What You Need:
- You need to live in Florida and have a Social Security number (or have applied for one).
- Your income and what you own must not exceed limits set by the program (this is calculated at 185% of the federal poverty level).
- You must either be attending school or working, depending on your situation.
- For caregivers, the child must live with you and go to school regularly.
When and How Is TCA Given Out?
TCA money is given out through an EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) card from the 1st to the 28th day of each month.
The specific day you get your assistance depends on the last two digits of your case number, ensuring everyone gets their money on a different day within the month.
Here’s the payment schedule for July:

If you don't see your payment on the expected day, wait until the next day to check again. Systems often update at midnight. If there's still no deposit, you can check your status online through MyACCESS or by contacting DCF directly.
How Much Money Will You Receive?
The amount varies:
- Families with one child can get between $240 to $300, based on the child's age.
- Through the "Relative Caregiver" program, one could receive up to $298 per child aged 13 to 17.
For exact amounts, review your MyACCESS account or contact DCF.
Keep in Mind:
- Remember your case number. If you forget, check MyACCESS or call (850) 300-4323.
- Keep track of your deposit dates by referring to the schedule above and check your EBT card accordingly.
- Stay up-to-date with any changes in your address, job, or family and report them to avoid issues with your assistance.
- Make sure your children's school attendance and vaccinations are up to par to continue receiving help.
- Use apps or notifications, like Propel or MyACCESS, to keep informed about your benefits.
Knowing when your TCA payment will arrive can significantly ease your planning and ensure your family's needs are met. Spread the word to other TCA recipients in Florida to make sure everyone gets their help smoothly and on time.
