SUMMARY: Mississippi Democratic lawmakers held a hearing to address the misuse of over $90 million in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, involving several individuals, including former NFL quarterback Brett Favre. With the rising cost of living and stagnant wages, demand for TANF assistance is increasing. Advocacy groups proposed reforms, including expanded program access, the elimination of discriminatory policies, and higher cash benefits, which are currently among the lowest in the nation. Governor Tate Reeves emphasized the importance of recovering misused funds and supporting those in need. Proposed changes won’t be considered until the 2025 legislative session.
