Change provisions relating to cash assistance under the Welfare Reform Act and transitional assistance under the aid to dependent children program
LB 926 changes Nebraska's welfare assistance rules for families receiving aid to dependent children. The bill eliminates child care expense reimbursements and extreme hardship provisions, changes the maximum time limit for cash assistance, and updates eligibility rules for minor parents. It also modifies the transitional payment program, which provides up to five monthly payments to families that lose aid due to increased earnings but still have income at or below 185% of the federal poverty level. These changes aim to harmonize related provisions under Nebraska's welfare laws.
