Bill overview
This bill, the Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients Act, requires states that administer programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and public housing to test recipients for substance abuse. Applicants would be screened or tested for controlled substances, and those who test positive would be ineligible for benefits for a period, potentially until they complete a treatment program or test negative. States that fail to enforce these testing requirements could see reduced federal funding for these programs. The bill also extends these testing requirements to public housing and Section 8 rental assistance programs.
