Sec. 2. (a) The division shall use the criteria for a qualifying family set forth in section 1 of this chapter to determine and apply all other state or local program expenditures by all state agencies and by political subdivisions that qualify as expenditures toward Indiana’s maintenance of effort under the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program (45 C.F.R. § part 260 et seq.).

     (b) The division shall determine whether the amount of expenditures that it projects will be reported to the federal government as Indiana’s maintenance of effort under the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program (45 CFR 265) will be less than necessary to avoid a reduction in the federal TANF distribution to Indiana.
