Changes cash assistance rules, requiring work plans and job training for families in need.
This bill would change the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, which provides cash assistance to families. It would require states to create individual work plans for recipients and focus funds on job training and work activities. The goal is to help more families find and keep jobs, while also making sure funds go to those most in need.
Today, states have more flexibility in how they use Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds and how they track work participation. If this bill passes, states would be required to create individual work plans for recipients, meet specific work outcome goals, and face stricter limits on who can receive funds and how those funds are spent.
