Change requirements relating to the standard of need under the aid to dependent children program

Nebraska's LB 102 updates the Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) program's "standard of need" calculation, which determines eligibility and benefit amounts. It sets a new monthly standard: $1,132.50 for a single person plus $393 for each additional household member, effective July 2026. The standard will automatically adjust every two years based on the Consumer Price Index to account for inflation. This change directly affects ADC recipients and their household benefit calculations under Nebraska law. The bill repeals the previous standard but does not alter the maximum benefit amount specified elsewhere.
