States Sue Over TANF Data Privacy | San Francisco News
Description
Twenty states and D.C. are suing the Trump administration to block a new federal rule that would let agencies access sensitive personal data — including Social Security numbers and immigration status — from millions of TANF recipients. The lawsuit targets a proposed policy by the Administration for Children and Families that could expose vulnerable families to privacy breaches and turn anti-poverty programs into tools against them. States like California, New York, and Illinois argue the move oversteps federal authority and threatens the safety of low-income households relying on these essential services. The federal agency has not yet responded, leaving the legal battle’s outcome uncertain.
