The reforms include extending the enormously successful 1996 welfare reforms of just one federal program, AidtoFamilieswithDependentChildren(AFDC), to all federal means tested welfare programs, nearly 200.
The whole point of the 1996 welfare reform law was to give states broad discretion in revising the old AidtoFamilieswithDependentChildren(AFDC) welfare program.
The old New Deal era AidtoFamilieswithDependentChildren(AFDC) is now Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), which pays cash mostly to single mothers withchildren.
