RISE Out of Poverty Act Rewriting to Improve and Secure an Exit Out of Poverty Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Rewriting to Improve and Secure an Exit Out of Poverty Act or the RISE Out of Poverty Act, proposes several key changes to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program:
It increases the state family assistance grant, adjusts the contingency fund, and provides matching grants for subsidized employment. The bill also eliminates time limits on TANF assistance during economic recessions, requires states to use a merit-based system in administering TANF, prohibits using federal TANF funds to replace state and local spending, and ensures TANF assistance meets families' basic economic needs. Additionally, the bill enhances state reporting requirements on child poverty, work outcomes, and services for individuals with disabilities. It also eliminates certain bars to TANF assistance, such as the ban on assistance for those convicted of drug felonies. Overall, the bill aims to improve the TANF program's ability to assist low-income families and promote employment and self-sufficiency.
