TANF; lifetime limit; drug testing

SB 1783 modifies Arizona's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program by imposing a 60-month lifetime limit on cash assistance for most recipients (excluding child-only cases), with a termination date of July 1, 2025. It allows a 12-month extension for families meeting work participation and school attendance requirements (90% for children). The bill also prohibits the Department of Economic Security from requiring drug testing for TANF recipients, except as permitted under other law. These changes apply retroactively to assistance received on or after October 1, 2002, and are pending legislative action.
