About the TEA Act
Transforming how America supports families — with dignity, transparency, and trust.
What Is the TEA Act?
The Transition Equity Act of 2025 (TEA Act) is a landmark legislative framework introduced by the Freedom & Fairness Policy Alliance (FFPA) to modernize how the United States invests in children, families, and communities.
Core Goals
- Provide a $1,500 monthly stabilization benefit per eligible child
- Establish trust-based accounts for long-term child savings
- Digitize benefit delivery and ensure transparency through the UCI
- Empower local communities through Oversight Boards
- Ensure civic participation and accountability in benefit systems
What Makes TEA Different?
The TEA Act is rooted in dignity, inclusion, and local empowerment. It replaces outdated systems with participation-based benefits, transparent audits, and eligibility tied to contribution rather than punishment.
Why Now?
Millions of children live in unstable financial conditions due to outdated benefit systems. TEA responds to decades of advocacy and data showing that proactive, locally informed support improves long-term outcomes for children, families, and communities.
