The bill would amend the Human Resources Code relating to transitional child-care services in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. The bill removes the requirement of the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) to provide transitional child-care services for former TANF participants. Pursuant to the federal Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 2014 effective October 1, 2016, TWC is required to provide a minimum of 12 months of eligibility for all children receiving child-care services funded through the Child Care and Development Block Grant.
