TANF; increase maximum amount of the monthly benefit for recipients of.

HB 568 would increase the maximum monthly benefit amounts for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients in Mississippi. Currently, the law sets specific maximums: $260 for the first family member, $36 for the second, and $24 for each additional member; this bill would raise these figures. It directly affects low-income families with children who qualify for TANF assistance by potentially increasing their monthly financial support. The bill amends Section 43-17-5 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to reflect these higher benefit levels.
