Former Packer Brett Favre has made arrangments to repay one-point-one million dollars to the state of Mississippi.
The Hall of Fame quarterback got the money from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program in 2017 and 2018.
Published reports indicated it was payment for speaking engagements and appearances which he didn’t attend.
State Auditor Shad White says Favre paid his office a half-million dollars Wednesday and has made arrangments to repay the rest in installments over the next few months.
The money will eventually wind up with the Mississippi Department of Human Services for welfare-related expenditures.
