Mississippi state auditor Shad White said Wednesday that Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre will return $1.1 million in welfare money that he received for speaking engagements that never came to fruition.
Luke Ramseth of the Mississippi Clarion Ledger reported the following:
"Favre received funds from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, or TANF, in 2017 and 2018, according to a report the auditor released Monday. The money came through the Department of Human Services and a nonprofit, the Mississippi Community Education Center, or MCEC.
