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 bill proposes to adjust the formula used for these grants by incorporating the Department's current year subsistence level, which is intended to better reflect the financial needs of families in the program.

Additionally, the bill seeks to eliminate the ratable reduction currently applied to these grants, which would potentially increase the amount of assistance available to families in need. By making these changes, the bill aims to enhance the effectiveness of the Reach Up program and provide more substantial support to those relying on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
