Change the maximum time limit for receipt of cash assistance under the Welfare Reform Act

Summary

The bill amends Nebraska’s Welfare Reform Act to limit cash assistance for families with children to a total of 24 to 60 months, with extensions if the state does not meet its self‑sufficiency contract or if no jobs are available. It also allows reimbursement for work‑related child‑care costs after eligibility ends and creates guidelines for extreme‑hardship cases. The changes affect low‑income families receiving cash aid and the state agency that administers the program.
