Bill Summary
A message from His Excellency the Governor returning with his objections there to in writing the engrossed Bill to lift the cap on kids [see House, No. 3594, amended] (for message, see House, No. 3686). April 10, 2019.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to lift the cap on the Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children (TAFDC) program, which limits the additional benefits provided to families for having more children. However, the Governor has returned the bill unsigned, explaining that the cap removal should be part of a broader set of TAFDC reforms, such as aligning the program's eligibility determination with federal standards and supporting recipients as they return to work. The Governor's alternative proposal, included in the Fiscal Year 2020 budget recommendation, would eliminate the "family cap" while also making other changes to the TAFDC program, such as counting adult Supplemental Security Income (SSI) in the eligibility calculation and allowing applicants to disregard the value of a single car when determining eligibility.
