H.131 is a bill introduced by Representatives Garofano and McGill that aims to modify the calculation of Reach Up grants provided by the Department for Children and Families. The proposed changes include adjusting the formula to reflect the current year's subsistence level and eliminating the ratable reduction that has previously affected grant amounts.

The bill seeks to ensure that families in need receive adequate financial support by aligning grant calculations with current economic conditions and removing any reductions that may have previously diminished the assistance provided. This adjustment is intended to enhance the effectiveness of the Reach Up program in supporting vulnerable populations in Vermont.
