YCT Nay. HB 132 would lower the age of eligibility for temporary assistance for needy families program (TANF) and other child welfare benefits for a guardian of a child who is the child’s extended family, from 45 to 25. While it is better for a child to be with a family member instead of the state when their parents can no longer take care of them, YCT believes that there are better measures that can be taken to ensure this can happen without expanding welfare eligibility.
