Federal Tanf Investigation
SUMMARY: The US House Ways and Means Committee has requested the Government Accountability Office to investigate the misuse of funds in a national program that provides $16.5 billion to states to assist families in need. The committee’s concerns were prompted by headlines in Mississippi and they believe the case represents a systemic problem. The letter asks for a thorough examination of how states are using the funds, including budgeting, populations served, audits, and fund transfers. The request comes following a hearing where Mississippi’s Auditor testified about millions of dollars in misused funds over several years.
