Federal HB2242 aims to measure and reduce improper payments in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.
Federal HB2242, the "Eliminating Fraud and Improper Payments in TANF Act," seeks to amend the Social Security Act by applying the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 to the TANF program. This will ensure that states are held to the same standards as federal agencies in preventing and addressing improper payments. The bill mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to submit a report to Congress within a year of enactment, detailing a plan to eliminate these improper payments within a decade. The changes will take effect on October 1, 2026.
