SECTION I: TANF State Plan Renewal
For the Period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026.
This state plan was developed in accordance with section 402 of the Social Security Act, as amended by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-193) and reflects the changes in work requirements outlined in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. The information submitted below restates the pertinent requirements of section 402, the regulations at 45 CFR Parts 261, 262, 263 and 265, and provides information that outlines the provisions of the State of Maine’s program.
Maine submits this state plan to renew its status as an eligible state. The plan renewal is a continuation of the state plan initially submitted on October 1, 1996 and found to be complete on December 27, 1996 and approved funding under TANF as of November 1996.
