The main purpose of this legislation is to improve the management of funds provided to states for temporary assistance to needy families (TANF). It aims to measure and reduce improper payments and fraud within this program, ensuring that financial assistance reaches those who truly need it. Key provisions of the legislation include the requirement for states to adhere to the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019. This means states will be held to similar standards as federal agencies when it comes to identifying and addressing improper payments.
