AN ACT CONCERNING THE MITIGATION OF BENEFITS CLIFFS.

Summary

The bill replaces the current law with a new temporary family assistance program run by the Department of Social Services that provides cash aid similar to the federal TANF program. It caps assistance at 36 months but lists several caretaker‑related situations that exempt families from the limit and allows up to two six‑month extensions for families facing hardship. The program can be funded entirely by the state to avoid federal penalties.
