|
The Department of
Health and Human Services will require a Federal Block Grant Fund allocation
of $753,666 in fiscal year 2022-23 to amend the Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families rules to terminate benefits for only the noncomplying parent
but continue to provide assistance to the children and complying parents.
This assumes an implementation date of January 1, 2023, as many technological
changes are required to make this change operational. Those technological
changes, along with rulemaking, are expected to take considerable time to
complete. |
