Senate Bill 263 amends the Human Resources Code to expand the category of relative caregivers of a dependent child who are eligible for the TANF supplemental grandparent payment to include an aunt, uncle, or sibling and to lower the minimum age to qualify for the payment to 25 years of age. The bill includes the aunt, uncle, or sibling of a child receiving TANF among the relatives who may serve as a protective payee for the child and requires that a person be at least 25 years of age to serve in that capacity.
