Explanation

((This amendment provides $396,000 from the general fund and $11.0 million from the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) block grant the second year to reorganize the two locality groupings for Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) cash assistance into one. Groups II and III would be combined and the rates in Group III would apply to everyone in the group, resulting in a modest increase in TANF cash assistance payments. The general fund amount in the second year represents funding for the TANF Unemployed Parent program, which is a state supported program.)
