HB 2740 Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Program.
Introduced by: Robert F. McDonnell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Program. Changes the TANF family cap provision to bar families from receiving an increase in benefits due to the birth of a child if the child is born more than 10 months after the commencement of the family’s current TANF eligibility, and to bar families who return to TANF eligibility after a period of less than eight months from receiving an increase due to the birth of a child. The bill also changes the exemption from the employment provisions of the VIP-VIEW Program for a parent or caretaker-relative with a child of 18 months to a parent or caretaker-relative with a child of 12 months, and allows local agencies to place VIEW participants into a work activity before their 90th day in the program. The bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Resources, in conjunction with the Board of Social Services, to study (i) whether TANF recipients are circumventing the provisions of the programs to obtain benefits for a child born more than ten months after the mother begins to receive TANF benefits and (ii) whether the family cap provisions are related to the birth and abortion rates in the TANF population. The results of this study shall be reported to the 2000 Session of the General Assembly. The bill contains a provision for emergency regulations, as well as technical amendments.
