AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Social Services and the Department of Developmental Services to report on the costs of programs serving children and families by January 1, 2027. These reports must detail current program costs, estimate the costs if eligibility were expanded to include families earning above the federal poverty level but below the ALICE Threshold of Financial Survival (a measure of financial hardship determined by the United Way of Connecticut), and estimate how many more families would qualify under this expanded eligibility. The agencies will also discuss the feasibility of using the ALICE Threshold for future eligibility decisions. The federal poverty level is a government-defined income standard used to determine eligibility for various federal programs.
