Bill Summary

Disapproves of the rule submitted by the Office of Family Assistance of the Administration for Children and Families of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) relating to waiver and expenditure authority under the Social Security Act with respect to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Declares that the rule shall have no force or effect.

AI Summary

This Joint Resolution disapproves of a rule proposed by the Office of Family Assistance within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that would have changed how states could get waivers and spend money for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. TANF is a federal program that provides cash assistance and other services to low-income families with children. Section 1115 of the Social Security Act allows HHS to grant waivers to states to experiment with different ways of running programs like TANF, and the rule in question would have altered the authority for these waivers and expenditures. By passing this resolution, Congress is preventing that specific rule from taking effect, meaning the existing rules for TANF waivers and spending will continue to apply.
