Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Case management counted as TANF admin
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
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 could shift dollars to benefits or reduce admin staff and services.
