The case is the\u00a0latest legal action\u00a0between states and the federal government over the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which like other public programs have come under scrutiny from the Trump administration as sources of potential fraud.<\/p>\n

The coalition of states sued in federal court in Washington to stop the agency that controls the program from moving ahead with a rule that would allow it to share recipients\u2019 immigration status, Social Security numbers and additional personal information with other parts of government or potentially with private entities, according to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of helping families struggling with the rising cost of living, this administration is trying to turn antipoverty programs against the people they\u2019re supposed to serve,\u201d New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, a judge\u00a0prevented the Trump administration from withholding\u00a0Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and other subsidy program funding from a handful of Democratic-controlled states, after the federal government said there was \u201creason to believe\u201d the states were granting benefits to people in the country illegally. A federal government lawyer later said the move was largely in response to news reports about possible fraud.<\/p>\n

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program provides more than $16 billion to states, D.C. and tribal governments in the form of grants that the local governments then have broad discretion to use to help low-income families through cash assistance, job training or other programs.<\/p>\n

Along with New York and the District of Columbia, joining the lawsuit are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. The governors of Kentucky and Pennsylvania have also signed onto the suit.<\/p>\n
