Temporary Assistance for Needy Families; increase monthly benefit amount for.
HB 134 would increase the monthly benefit amounts for Mississippi's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. The bill amends state law to raise the current maximum payments, which are $400 for the first family member, $72 for the second, and $48 for each additional member. 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.
