AI Summary
This Joint Resolution formally disapproves of a rule proposed by the Office of Family Assistance, which is part of the Administration for Children and Families within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This rule concerned the authority to grant waivers and spend funds under Section 1115 of the Social Security Act, specifically as it applies to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, a federal program providing cash assistance and support services to low-income families with children. By disapproving this rule, Congress is declaring that it will have no legal power or effect, essentially blocking its implementation. This action is taken under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, known as the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations issued by federal agencies.
