</script>http://empowermissouri.org/app/uploads/2023/01/Initiative-Petition.jpg19201200Later today, the House Committee on Downsizing Government will hear HB 2085, a bill that would prevent households which receive TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) from withdrawing those benefits in cash. However, cash is a necessary resource, especially for households in poverty. This bill will increase the burdens placed on our neighbors in poverty, harms kids in those families by increasing the stigma they face, and will violate federal law which could end TANF in Missouri.
