The "Jobs and Opportunity with Benefits and Services (JOBS) for Success Act of 2025" aims to reauthorize and significantly reform the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, extending its grant provisions through fiscal year 2030. A central tenet of this reform is a shift in emphasis from simply measuring work participation to focusing on tangible work outcomes and performance accountability. The bill also adds "reduce child poverty by increasing employment entry, retention, and advancement of needy parents" as a core program purpose. A key provision requires States to develop Individual Opportunity Plans (IOPs) for all work-eligible individuals, based on an initial assessment of their skills, work experience, and barriers to employment. These plans must include personal responsibility agreements, outline work obligations, set employment goals, and describe supportive services. States are mandated to ensure universal engagement in work activities for all eligible recipients and to review IOPs periodically, with penalties for individual non-compliance. The bill introduces a new performance accountability system, replacing traditional work participation rates with specific work outcome measures . These indicators include the percentage of individuals in unsubsidized employment after exiting the program, their retention in employment, and their median earnings. Performance levels will be negotiated between States and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, taking into account economic conditions and participant characteristics, with State performance publicly displayed on an online dashboard. To ensure funds are targeted effectively, the bill prohibits the use of TANF grants for families with monthly incomes exceeding twice the poverty line and reduces the administrative cost limit from 15% to 10%. It also explicitly prohibits direct spending on child care services or activities from TANF funds. States are granted expanded authority to transfer up to 50% of their TANF grants to the Child Care and Development Block Grant or Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act programs, with specific conditions for WIOA transfers. Further targeting funds, the legislation requires States to reserve at least 25% of their federal TANF grant and 25% of their qualified State expenditures for core activities such as work supports, education, training, and case management. It also strengthens program integrity by applying improper payments laws to States and prohibits the use of federal funds to supplant State general revenue spending. Additionally, the bill bars the use of TANF funds at establishments selling marihuana. The legislation enhances accountability by requiring HHS approval of State plans, which must now detail case management practices, proposed performance levels, and coordination with other programs. It also mandates improved data reporting, including full-population data and detailed information on work activity participation and outcomes. Finally, the bill allows States to set aside up to 15% of funds for future use during economic downturns and eliminates several obsolete provisions, such as supplemental grants and welfare-to-work grants, with all amendments taking effect on October 1, 2026.
