TANF block grant; DHS shall transfer 30% of each year to CCDF for child care vouchers.

SB 2718 would require Mississippi to redirect 30% of its annual Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant funds to the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). This would provide child care vouchers for qualifying children in families receiving TANF assistance, specifically supporting parents who need childcare to work or attend education programs. The bill mandates this annual transfer without creating new funding, directly affecting TANF recipient families needing childcare support. It modifies existing TANF administration rules to prioritize child care access for eligible households.
