As of the end of the 2012 Georgia legislative session, under GA § 49-4-184 (Eligibility for assistance), an applicant or recipient for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is ineligible if he was 1) convicted of a serious violent felony on or after January 1, 1997; or 2) convicted of a felony under the Georgia Controlled Substances Act on or after January 1, 1997.

A "serious violent felony" is defined as murder or felony murder, armed robbery, kidnapping of a victim under age 14, rape, aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, and aggravated sexual battery.

A felon whose crime does not fall under either 1) or 2) above would be eligible for TANF in Georgia.

In general, if the amount of child support exceeds the TANF standard, TANF will stop. (The family might still be eligible for Medicaid.) If the amount of child support is less than the TANF standard, TANF will continue; the State will keep the child support as reimbursement.
