Keep defending these clowns. Please.

All other states and the District of Columbia have opted to continue their programs so far, using state funds and anticipating federal reimbursement.

A Sept. 30 letter from the federal Office for Family Assistance urges states to keep TANF open, saying any needed expenditures will be paid back once the shutdown has ended.

....

Henry said the letter was not a sufficient guarantee of repayment.

"From our perspective, the offer that was made about possible reimbursement was not a definitive enough commitment about reimbursement for us to count on that," Henry said.

She couldn't comment on why other states viewed it differently.
 
jhmd has to be pleased that NC stuck to their conservative principles. No doubt fatherhood rates will increase and the poors will go get jobs.
