On December 28th the Board of the Texas Department of Human Services (DHS) will be considering a rule to eliminate nearly all work exemptions for recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).

The board has the option of proposing an alternative rule that would retain some of the current work exemptions.
