The bill eliminates minimum participation rates and replaces them with metrics tied to employment outcomes, such as former beneficiaries\u00e2\u0080\u0099 rates of unsubsidized employment and earnings at particular points in time. The Department of Health and Human Services must publish a website with information on each state\u00e2\u0080\u0099s performance. The bill also requires states to create an individual opportunity plan for each beneficiary and to meet with each work-eligible beneficiary at least every 90 days to review the individual\u00e2\u0080\u0099s progress under their plan. (Under current law, individual plans are optional.)Further, the bill prohibits states from using TANF funds to provide benefits to families with monthly incomes that exceed twice the poverty line.Finally, the bill requires states to spend at least 25% of their TANF grant funds on certain activities, including work supports, education and training, and apprenticeships. The bill also lowers the percentage of TANF funds that a state may spend on administrative costs to 10%, with an exception for costs related to case management necessary to assist in the development of individual opportunity plans.", "2026-03-03T17:28:48Z", null]], "columns": ["bill_id", "congress", "bill_type", "bill_number", "title", "policy_area", "introduced_date", "latest_action_date", "latest_action_text", "origin_chamber", "sponsor_name", "sponsor_state", "sponsor_party", "sponsor_bioguide_id", "cosponsor_count", "summary_text", "update_date", "url"], "primary_keys": ["bill_id"], "primary_key_values": ["119-hr-3156"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.44847396202385426, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
