The remaining $200 million would be provided as emergency funds (no funds were provided for emergency assistance in FY 2012). The budget would also provide up to $3 million for T and TA and program integrity (monitoring for internal controls, same as in FY 2012). The impact of the budget cuts would be severe. At least one million families would be eliminated from the program. See language below – Mark Wolfe/NEADA
