Temporary Assistance for Needy Families | Federal aid to public welfare | Public welfare | Welfare recipients -- Employment | United States. -- StatesDDC classification: 050 Summary: "There is no single story to welfare reform. Indeed, one of the wrong notes sounded at many meetings is an attitude that we have a single national program. States and the District of Columbia have adopted such a variety of initiatives that TANF [Temporary Assistance to Needy Families] is not a single program, but 51 different programs. They all seek to move welfare recipients into jobs, but do it in different ways." (STATE LEGISLATURES) This article describes what states have done to move people off of welfare and addresses what is still needed to be done to those remaining in the system to permanently leave the welfare rolls.
