South Dakota is appropriating $6.8 million to increase payments to low-income families receiving temporary assistance, maintaining benefit levels at the amounts paid during fiscal year 2025 through July 1, 2027. The bill declares an emergency so these increased benefits take effect immediately rather than waiting for the standard effective date. This addresses a gap where benefits might otherwise decrease by ensuring families continue receiving the same financial support they got in the prior fiscal year.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
