Child care; DHS shall transfer to CCDF the first $40 Million of unspent TANF funds from prior FY to be used for child care vouchers.

HB 432 directs Mississippi's Department of Human Services to transfer the first $40 million of unspent Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds from the prior fiscal year to the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). This funding will specifically support child care vouchers under the Child Care Payment Program (CCPP) for qualifying low-income families with children. The bill requires this annual transfer using existing unspent TANF resources, expanding access to child care assistance without new state appropriations. It directly affects families eligible for CCPP services by increasing available voucher funding.
