If this mother received TANEF payments fraudulently, particularly while she
and your children were residing with you, it's unlikely that you would
be considered responsible for reimbursing the Commonwealth for those
particular payments.
However, since I am not an expert on TANEF eligibility criteria, I cannot
answer your last question.
