ESSARY SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT AS A
CONDITION OF RECEIVING AFDC.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Section 402(a) of the Social Secu-
rity Act (42 U.S.C. 602(a)) is amended by inserting after
paragraph (34) the following:
‘‘(35) provide that—
‘‘(A) as a condition of eligibility for aid,
each applicant or recipient who the State deter-
mines is addicted to alcohol or drugs must be
required to agree to participate, and must
maintain satisfactory participation (as deter-
mined by the State), in an appropriate addic-
tion treatment program; and
‘‘(B) each applicant or recipient who fails
to comply with any requirement imposed pursu-
ant to subparagraph (A) shall not be eligible for
aid during the 2-year period that begins with
such failure to comply.’’.
(b) EFFECTIVE DATE.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in para-
graph (2), the amendment made by subsection (a)
shall take effect on the date of the enactment of this
Act, and apply to payments under part A of title IV
of the Social Security Act for calendar quarters end-
ing after such date.
(2) DELAY PERMITTED IF STATE LEGISLATION
REQUIRED.—In the case of a State plan approved
under section 402(a) of the Social Security Act
which the Secretary of Health and Human Services
determines requires State legislation (other than leg-
islation appropriating funds) in order for the plan to
meet the additional requirement imposed by the
amendment made by subsection (a) of this section,
the State plan shall not be regarded as failing to
comply with the requirements of such section 402(a)
solely on the basis of the failure of the plan to meet
such additional requirement before the end of the 2-
year period that begins with the date of the enact-
ment of this Act.
SEC. 302. AUTHORITY OF STATE TO MODIFY CERTAIN AFDC
INCOME DISREGARD RULES.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Section 402(a)(8)(B) of the So-
cial Security Act (42 U.S.C. 602(a)(8)(B)) is amended—

and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
‘‘(iii) notwithstanding clauses (ii) and (iv)
of subparagraph (A) and clause (ii) of this sub-
paragraph, may disregard earned income of any
child or relative receiving aid to families with
dependent children, or of any other individual
(living in the same home as such relative and
child) whose needs as taken into account in
making the determination under paragraph (7),
in accordance with any combination of rules
which (as determined by the State in accord-
ance with regulations prescribed by the Sec-
retary) is at least as favorable to the recipient
of such aid as the combination of rules con-
tained in such clauses, but not more favorable
to the recipient than a rule providing for the
disregard of the first $200 of the total of such
