South Dakota will create a new pilot program that gives monthly cash benefits to people receiving temporary assistance for needy families: $14 per month for eligible women ages 18-50 and $30 per month for each child under age 3 to help pay for menstrual hygiene products and diapers. These benefits will be added to participants' existing electronic benefits cards alongside their regular assistance payments, with the state establishing rules to ensure the money is spent only on these approved products.
