Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill amends the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program to strengthen oversight and reduce improper payments. It requires states to apply federal payment integrity standards, target assistance to families with income below twice the poverty line, obligate and expend federal funds within specified timeframes, and certify that federal funds supplement rather than replace state spending. The bill also directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop a plan to reduce or eliminate improper payments within 10 years.
