Requires the department to exempt a recipient's family from application of this act by providing child safety net payments to maintain housing, basic utilities, and other verified needs of children in a recipient's family if the recipient or another adult in the recipient's family is in sanction status. The child safety net payment shall not be less than sixty percent of the assistance unit's regular monthly grant.

The household shall be assigned a protective payee to pay the family's verified rent and utility costs. Once the basic needs of the household are met, the assigned protective payee shall hold the funds in an account to meet the future verified needs of the children rather than giving any remaining funds to the client.
