SB 5063: TANF recipients/education
Making changes in the TANF program to facilitate adult recipients' completion of education or training that will lead to gainful employment.
Summary
- TANF recipients who have substantially completed a community, trade, or technical college program are evaluated and facilitated by the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) in order to maintain their grant assistance without sanction while completing their training. DSHS makes a good faith effort to accommodate completion, including deeming one hour of additional work activity, if necessary.
