Restoring Temporary to TANF Act

This bill requires states receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds to spend at least 25% of their annual grant amount on work-related services. Specifically, states must use these funds for job training, education programs, apprenticeships, short-term benefits, and case management to help individuals create employment plans. The requirement applies to all states administering TANF programs and takes effect October 1, 2026. It directly affects TANF recipients by prioritizing workforce development support through mandatory state spending.
