AZ SB1491

Amends Section 46-101, Arizona Revised Statutes, to modify the definition of "child only case" in the temporary assistance for needy families program.

Expands the definition to include eligible dependent children living with an unrelated adult or nonparent relative who is responsible for meeting the child's basic needs and is not receiving cash assistance.

Maintains existing provision for children in the legal custody of the Department of Child Safety, tribal court, or tribal child welfare agency placed in foster care with unrelated adults or nonparent relatives not receiving cash assistance.

Clarifies that a "child only case" is excluded from the definition of a "needy family" under the welfare assistance program.
