Mississippi HB178 allocates unspent TANF funds for nursing education expenses and childcare for enrolled students.

Mississippi HB178 amends the state's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program to prioritize unspent funds from the prior fiscal year for education-related expenses of individuals enrolled in nursing education courses as part of workforce training. Additionally, these funds will cover the childcare expenses of those enrolled students while they are taking the nursing education courses. This bill aims to support and incentivize participation in nursing education within the state.
