HB1123DeadAppropriations
establish a pilot program to provide benefits for menstrual hygiene products and diapers for individuals who receive temporary assistance for needy families, and to make an appropriation therefor.
South Dakota would create a new pilot program that gives extra monthly cash benefits to people receiving temporary assistance for needy families: $14 per month for eligible individuals ages 18-50 who menstruate, and $30 per month per child under age 3 for diapers. The benefits would be added to participants' existing electronic benefits cards and can only be used to purchase menstrual hygiene products (like tampons and pads) or diapers.
