This bill allows states to transfer a portion of their Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds to workforce development programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. States that choose to make these transfers must submit a combined state plan to both federal labor and social services officials showing how the money will be used for job training and employment services. The legislation caps how much states can reserve for statewide workforce activities at 15 percent of transferred funds, ensuring most money goes directly to local programs. The bill also reauthorizes TANF through September 30, 2026, and takes effect on October 1, 2025, with funding to come from general Treasury appropriations as needed.
