Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Introduced March 14, 2025 by Danny K. Davis · Last progress March 14, 2025
Creates a new Program Integrity Unit at the Department of Health and Human Services to monitor and respond to intentional misuse of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds by subrecipients. The Unit receives dedicated funding, must report to Congress every year, and will lead oversight and enforcement.
It also directs HHS to set rules on how monitoring will work and what remedies apply when intentional misuse is found, and it sets deadlines for those rules and for when the changes take effect. The goal is to protect TANF dollars so they reach low‑income families as intended.
