TANF; lifetime limit; drug testing
SB 1670 modifies Arizona's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program by extending the lifetime limit for cash assistance from 60 to 120 months (10 years) for most recipients, retroactive to 2002. It exempts child-only cases and allows an additional 12 months if recipients comply with work requirements and children maintain 90% school attendance. The bill also explicitly prohibits the Department of Economic Security from requiring drug testing for TANF recipients, reversing prior policy. These changes apply retroactively to June 30, 2025, and affect low-income families receiving cash assistance under Arizona's TANF program.
