Summary
The Kids Before Cuts Act prohibits the federal government from withholding funds allocated to three child welfare and social services programs—Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the Child Care Development Block Grant, and the Social Services Block Grant—without explicit congressional authorization. The bill responds to a January 2025 freeze of approximately $10 billion in federal funds for these programs announced by the Trump administration and Department of Health and Human Services. By requiring Congress to explicitly authorize any future withholding of these funds, the bill reasserts congressional control over federal spending in these areas.
