SB 681 - This act requires the Division of Family Services
(DFS) to check the attendance records of children whose families
are receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). If
a child does not attend school, the Director of DFS shall send
written notification to the parents. If a child fails a second
attendance check, TANF benefits to the family may be suspended
for one month. If a child fails a third check, benefits may be
suspended for two months. If, after a fourth check, a child is
still not attending school, benefits may be suspended until the
following school year.
