AI Summary

Sets firm timelines for how states use their annual TANF block grant funds. States must commit the money by the end of the next fiscal year and actually spend it by the end of the second fiscal year.

States can set aside up to 15% of their annual grant for future years, but that reserve is limited by a 50% cap compared with the prior year and requires notice to the Secretary. The change takes effect October 1, 2026.
