Did You Know?

Beginning April 1, 2024, customers who complete a self-assessment will be able to use a copy of their assessment as proof of completion to satisfy the Work Registration requirement, needed for all TANF applications. Customers can submit the assessment as their acknowledgment form by uploading the pdf to their District Direct mobile app or printing the document and turning it in at any service center.

There are two options to complete the assessment. Customers may complete and submit a self-assessment online by using the Customer Assessment Portal at https://cap.dhs.dc.gov/ or they can schedule a TANF Assessment, by calling 202- 698-1860.
