[D-MA] MA D K000148 0 Amends part A (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) of title IV of the Social Security Act, as added by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, to require the chief executive officer of a State to report annually to the Secretary of Health and Human Services on the State's child poverty rate, including any change in such rate from the previous report. Requires any State submitting a report with an increase of five percent or more in its child poverty rate from the previous report to submit to the Secretary, for acceptance or rejection, a corrective action plan outlining the manner in which it will implement appropriate reductions in its child poverty rate until such time as the Secretary determines that the rate for the State involved has fallen to certain levels. Requires the Secretary to promulgate regulations establishing the methodology by which States determine child poverty rates. 2025-01-14T18:59:41Z
