SB 598 - This act requires the Director of the Division of Family Services to check periodically the attendance records of any child of school age whose family receives Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). If the child does not attend school, the Director shall formally notify the parents. TANF aid shall be suspended, for progressively longer periods as specified in the act, if the child is not attending school upon subsequent attendance checks. The Director may establish, by the rulemaking procedures of Chapter 536, RSMo, an appeals process for review of any such suspension of TANF benefits.
