WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) announced a markup on a package of bills aimed at improving the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and reducing poverty in America.

“These proposals are targeted, achievable actions about an issue we all care about – helping more American families get out of poverty and climb the economic ladder,” said Chairman Brady. “Each bill will help strengthen the TANF program so that more Americans can find jobs, escape poverty, and provide for their families. I applaud my colleagues for promoting thoughtful solutions that will reform our nation’s welfare system and improve lives.”
