SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate and Democratic Caucuses met to address the misuse of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds, revealing that over $160 million is available while only 1,600 families are served despite approximately 200,000 children living in poverty. Mississippi Department of Human Services Executive Director Bob Anderson suggested a $60 increase in monthly assistance to $320, while Rep. Robert Johnson advocated for raising it to $500-$550 for a family of three. The caucus also discussed making the application process for these funds more accessible to families in need.
