H.R.2284

Reduce Bureaucracy to Uplift Families Act limits administrative expenses for TANF block grants.

The Reduce Bureaucracy to Uplift Families Act amends the Social Security Act to lower the allowable percentage of funds for administrative expenses under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program from 15% to 10%. It also introduces a penalty for non-compliance: if a state fails to adhere to the administrative expense limit, the grant for the following fiscal year will be reduced by up to 5% of the state family assistance grant. The act takes effect on October 1, 2026.
