## Summary

**Caps TANF administrative spending at 10%.** This bill would lower the share of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant funds that states can spend on administrative costs, add a new penalty for missing the cap, and let certain case management costs count as administrative spending.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Case management counted as TANF admin: benefit, low. The bill would let states count case management for individual responsibility plans as TANF administrative costs. These costs would count under the admin cap and would not add new funds. This could support more planning and guidance for families on TANF. The change would start October 1, 2026.
- Tighter TANF admin cap and penalties: cost, low. The bill would lower TANF admin spending from 15% to 10% of grant funds. The 10% cap would also apply to the share of state spending that counts toward TANF. If a state breaks the cap, its next-year family assistance grant could be cut by up to 5%. These changes would start October 1, 2026. States…
