## Summary

**Refocuses TANF on work outcomes and stricter program rules.** The Jobs and Opportunity with Benefits and Services (JOBS) for Success Act of 2025 would reauthorize and reshape the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program by requiring individualized opportunity plans, creating a national performance system tied to employment exits, tightening eligibility and integrity rules, and changing how states may spend and report funds. - Families: Work-eligible adults would face a required assessment and an Individual Opportunity Plan developed with the recipient that sets monthly work-hour obligations, job counseling, and referrals. New participants must complete a plan within 60 days and plans must be reviewed at least every 90 days; failure to comply can reduce family benefits. - Workers and young people: The bill would expand allowed work activities to include apprenticeships and career technical education, require supervised job search where appropriate, and let people under 24 who are still in secondary school opt to finish high school or an equivalent while receiving benefits. - States and program administration: The bill would cut the administrative cap to 10 percent and require states to reserve and spend at least 25 percent of TANF grants on core activities like training, supports, and case management. It would also permit transfers into child care and workforce programs and eliminate several existing grant streams such as welfare-to-work and bonus grants.
