HB 130 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

TANF block grant; DHS shall transfer 30% of each year to CCDF for child care vouchers.

HB 130 requires Mississippi's Department of Human Services (DHS) to redirect 30% of the state's annual federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) welfare funds to the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). This transfer would fund child care vouchers for qualifying families under the Child Care Payment Program (CCPP), directly supporting low-income parents who need childcare to work or attend job training. The bill mandates this specific allocation each fiscal year without altering existing TANF eligibility rules or benefit amounts. It focuses on reallocating existing welfare funds to expand access to subsidized childcare, rather than creating new programs or changing benefit structures.
