Explanation
(This amendment substitutes federal block grant funds (TANF) for general fund appropriations used to pay welfare benefits. The general fund savings would be used to offset the cost of Senate Bill 638, if enacted by the General Assembly and federally approved. Senate Bill 638 would provide a child tax credit to families with incomes below the federal poverty level. A companion amendment to Item 409 reduces the projected unspent balance in the federal TANF grant by an equal amount.)
