Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Additional costs to the Department of Health and Human Services to implement the provisions of this bill  are assumed to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.  The costs and the savings to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program cannot be determined at this time but would affect the program's Federal Block Grant Fund account only.  This also assumes the reduction in General Fund spending from elimination of the Parents as Scholars (PaS) program would be expended on other benefits under the Additional Support for People in Retraining and Employment (ASPIRE) program.
