Summary:  \nPublic assistance programs help low-income families meet their basic needs, such as housing, food, and utilities. The most commonly utilized public assistance programs in Florida include Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or food assistance, and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) program. In Florida, the majority of the participants in these programs are children.  \nWhile the goal of public assistance is, generally, to ensure that a family’s basic needs are met and facilitate economic advancement, families often exit programs before they are truly capable of maintaining self-sufficiency. A “benefit cliff” occurs when a modest increase in wages results in a net loss of income due to the reduction in or loss of public assistance funds that follows.  \nBenefit cliffs create a financial disincentive for low-income individuals to earn more income due to the destabilization and uncertainty that often results from a loss in benefits, especially when the benefit lost was essential to a parent’s ability to reliably work.  \nSPB 7052 revises various components of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program (TANF), also known as Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) . The bill creates case management as a transitional benefit for families transitioning from TCA. The bill requires CareerSource Florida to use a tool to demonstrate future financial impacts of changes to benefits and income and local workforce boards to administer, analyze, and use data from intake and exit surveys ofTCA recipients.  \nThe bill requires the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to expand mandatory SNAP Employment and Training participation to include adults ages 18-59, who do not have children under age 18 in the home, or otherwise qualify for an exemption.  \nThe bill has an indeterminate negative fiscal impact on state government.  \nThe bill provides an effective date of July 1, 2024.  \nII. Present Situation:  \nPublic Assistance Programs  \nPublic assistance programs help low-income families meet their basic needs, such as housing, food, and utilities.1 The social safety net for American families depends on the coordination of a complex patchwork of federal, state, and local funding and program administration.2 Through various programs, public assistance is capable of helping families to keep children in their family home through economic difficulties3 and reducing the material hardship that has been linked to negative outcomes in children4, as well as driving the economy in times of market downturns5 and supporting the career advancement of low-income adults striving to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty.6  \nThe process of facilitating the broad, conceptual goals of public assistance programs involves several federal programs with different levels of flexibility for states to tailor the programs to their own populations. The specific eligibility criteria and participation requirements vary by program through complementary state and federal policy.  \nThe most commonly utilized public assistance programs in Florida include Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs (SNAP) or food assistance, and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) program.
