Reduce Bureaucracy to Uplift Families Act

HR 7449 reduces the maximum allowable administrative spending for states administering federal assistance programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) from 15% to 10% of program funds. This directly affects state agencies managing these programs by requiring them to lower overhead costs, redirecting more funds toward direct services. The bill also extends TANF program funding through September 2026, maintaining current funding levels and administrative structures. These changes take effect October 1, 2025, and do not alter benefit amounts or eligibility criteria.
