Protect TANF Resources for Families Act
This bill prohibits states from using federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds to replace state or local spending that would otherwise occur without federal support. It requires states to certify to the federal government that TANF funds will supplement, not supplant, existing state funding for family assistance programs. The law also extends the current TANF program authorization through September 30, 2026, maintaining existing funding levels and program rules from fiscal year 2023. These changes directly affect states administering TANF and ensure federal funds specifically support low-income families rather than offsetting state budgetary decisions.
