Bill Summary
For legislation to promote asset building for low income residents. Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote asset building for low-income residents by prohibiting the Department of Transitional Assistance from using an "assets test" to determine financial eligibility for cash assistance under the Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children (TAFDC) program. Instead, eligibility would be based solely on an income test. This change is intended to make it easier for low-income families to save and build their assets without risking the loss of vital public assistance benefits.
