Mississippi Affordable Child Care Act reallocates TANF funds for child care subsidies.

The Mississippi Affordable Child Care Act mandates the reallocation of federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds for child care subsidies. Specifically, it requires the Department of Human Services to transfer thirty percent of the state's annual TANF block grant to the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) for funding child care subsidies. The act also stipulates that unspent TANF funds from the prior fiscal year can be expended for allowable TANF activities.
