Plain-language change summary

The amendment to HB 1817 changes the wording from "average benefit in dollars received by each household" to "average monthly benefit received per household." This change aims to clarify that the focus is on the monthly amount received rather than a general figure. This matters because it provides a more accurate understanding of the benefits that households are receiving on a regular basis, which can impact assessments of financial support programs.
