Jobs and Opportunity with Benefits and Services (JOBS) for Success Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill extends the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program through 2030 and changes how it works. Instead of requiring states to have a certain percentage of people in work activities, states will be measured on how well former recipients are doing in jobs and earnings after leaving the program. The bill requires states to create individual plans for each person receiving benefits and meet with work-eligible recipients every 90 days to check their progress. States cannot give TANF benefits to families earning more than twice the poverty level, must spend at least 25% of their TANF money on work supports and training programs, and can only spend 10% on administrative costs.
