The programs are the #ChildCare & Development Fund, which subsidizes child care for #children from #LowIncome #families; the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash assistance & job training; & the #SocialServices Block Grant, a smaller fund that provides money for a variety of programs.

In court filings & a hearing Friday, the #states contended that the admin did not have a legal reason for holding back the money from those states.

#HHS said it was pausing the #funding because it had “reason to believe” the states were granting benefits to people in the country illegally, though it did NOT provide #evidence or explain why it was targeting those states & not others.

The #Trump admin froze $10 billion in #grant #funding for #childcare & #family assistance programs in 5 states purportedly because of “serious concerns about widespread fraud” in state-administered programs.

All 5 states targeted — #California, #Colorado, #Illinois, #Minnesota & #NewYork — are led by #Democrats.
