HB 134 would increase the monthly benefit amounts for Mississippi's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.

This change would directly affect low-income families with children who qualify for TANF assistance in Mississippi. The bill does not specify new dollar amounts but aims to provide higher financial support for eligible households.
