Works Program Reserves & Cost of Living Adjustment

Summary

SB 181 changes Colorado's Works (TANF) program by allowing counties to extend assistance beyond the 60‑month limit for families with good cause, and by setting automatic cost‑of‑living increases to cash assistance. It also creates rules for tracking state and county reserve balances and authorizes extra funding if those reserves fall below set thresholds. The bill aims to keep assistance levels stable while protecting the program’s financial health.
