The Governor's Office estimates TANF carryover funds will be exhausted within the next 13 months or less.
In West Virginia, the federal TANF block grant is traditionally $110 million, with the state’s maintenance of effort for the current fiscal year budgeted at $25.8 million.
However, the Governor’s Office claims it only receives $98.8 million in its federal TANF block grant.
The Legislature amended and approved the governor's recommended general revenue budget line item for TANF for fiscal year 2027 for $177.1 million.
According to media reports, family support centers are only funded through the end of September, when the federal fiscal year ends.
