Families Will Lose Child Care Assistance Under House Ways and Means Committee Welfare Reauthorization Bill
From Center for Law and Social Policy:
by Danielle Ewen. On October 26, the House Ways and Means Committee approved a budget reconciliation bill that includes provisions to reauthorize the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Even as the bill increases families' work requirements-and the need for child care-it provides only $500 million in new child care funding over five years, despite Congressional Budget Office estimates that keeping pace with inflation will cost $4.8 billion over five years. If enacted, this bill would force states to cut child care assistance for low-income working families over the coming years. Read more from this post.
