Explanation

(This amendment restores $579,951 the first year and $1.2 million the second year to fund a 15 percent increase in TANF cash assistance payments to two-parent families. On July 1, 2020, the increase was provided to most TANF families, however cash assistance for two-parent families are funded from the general fund, and the associated funding included in the budget passed in March, was subsequently unallotted in April due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eliminated in the introduced budget for the Special Session. This amendment restores the funding to allow two-parents families to receive the 15 percent increase beginning January 1, 2021.)
