An Act relative to Department of Transitional Assistance benefits for diapers

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance to provide an additional $30 monthly payment for diapers to recipients of state assistance who have dependent children. The funds are intended to help families purchase essential hygiene products, with the amount allocated per child rather than as a flat sum. The legislation applies to individuals currently receiving benefits under the state's child support and welfare programs. By adding this specific line item to existing laws, the bill creates a direct financial benefit to eligible parents without altering other parts of the assistance system.
