AI Summary
This bill requires the Mississippi Department of Human Services (DHS) to allocate at least 30% of the state's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant, or the maximum amount allowed by federal law, whichever is greater, to the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) each fiscal year. These funds are to be used specifically for child care vouchers provided through the Child Care Payment Program (CCPP) for eligible children. TANF is a federal program that provides cash assistance and other services to low-income families with children, and the CCDF is a federal program that helps low-income families pay for child care. The bill aims to ensure that a significant portion of TANF funds are directed towards supporting child care for families in need.
