0970-AC79 201810 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0970 Administration for Children and Families ACF 0900 Department of Health and Human Services HHS Strengthening Work in TANF

This proposed rule responds to the President’s Executive Order 13828 which directed HHS to review all regulations and bring them into line with the Administration’s principles, which include strengthening existing work requirements. The NPRM will propose to make changes to strengthen the focus of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program on work and ensure that states maintain their financial commitment to helping needy families through the federal-state partnership envisioned in the law. The rule will propose changes to TANF maintenance-of-effort provisions and the TANF provision that allows states to provide nominal payments to families who are already working and not otherwise receiving TANF.
