states
each state must meet certain criteria to ensure recipients are being encouraged to work themselves out of welfare. the new program is called temporary assistance for needy families (tanf). it encourages states to require some sort of employment search in exchange for providing funds to individuals, and imposes a five-year lifetime limit on cash assistance. the bill restricts welfare from most legal immigrants and increased financial assistance for child care. the federal government also maintains a contingency $2 billion tanf fund (tanf cf) to assist states that may have rising unemployment. the new tanf program expired on september 30, 2010, on schedule with states drawing down the entire original emergency fund of $5 billion and the contingency fund of $2 billion allocated by arra. reauthorization of tanf was not accomplished in 2011, but tanf block grants were extended as part of the claims resolution act of 2010 (see temporary aid for needy families for details).
