Summary
Social Services Emergency Relief and Recovery Act of 2005 - Amends title IX (Employment Security) of the Social Security Act to direct the Secretary of the Treasury to transfer specified amounts from the federal unemployment account to the accounts of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi in the Unemployment Trust Fund. Allows any state, on or after August 28, 2005, to use any amounts it has received pursuant to title III (Unemployment Insurance) to assist in the administration of claims for compensation on behalf of any other state, if a major disaster was declared by reason of Hurricane Katrina with respect to such other state or any area within it under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. Eliminates Medicare and Medicaid coverage under titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act of drugs used for the treatment of sexual or erectile dysfunction. Extends to December 31, 2005, the sunset date for transitional medical assistance (TMA). Extends through December 31, 2005, in the manner authorized for FY2005, activities authorized under the separate program for abstinence education under title V (Maternal and Child Health) of the Social Security Act. Makes appropriations for such purpose. Extends through September 2006 the qualified individual program. Prescribes additional allocations for such program for the extended period. Provides that, between the date of the enactment of this Act and August 31, 2006, any of the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama shall be considered a needy state for purposes of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Family (TANF) program's Contingency Fund for State Welfare Programs under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act, if it meets certain criteria.
