Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the aid to dependent children program; to amend section 43-513, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska; to change requirements related to the standard of need; and to repeal the original section.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the aid to dependent children (ADC) program by updating the standard of need, which represents the monthly amount necessary for basic subsistence and is used to determine program eligibility. Starting July 1, 2026, the standard of need will be set at $1,132.50 for a single individual, with an additional $393 for each additional person in the ADC unit. The bill introduces a new requirement to adjust the standard of need annually on July 1st, using the Consumer Price Index growth rate from the previous calendar year, replacing the previous requirement of adjusting every two years. The bill also clarifies that the standard of need is used to calculate the benefit amount for an ADC unit, with the payment still being subject to the maximum amount specified in another section of the law. This change aims to provide a more current and responsive financial support system for dependent children and their families by ensuring the benefit levels keep pace with economic changes.
