Description
Welfare reform ends the individual entitlement to federally supported cash assistance to economically disadvantaged families with children under the Aid to Families With Dependent Children program. Also provides for terminating benefits for noncompliance with program rules or after a certain time period. This report examines states' early experiences with benefit terminations, focusing on the extent to which termination provisions have been used, what happens to families after termination, and states' experiences in implementing these provisions. Tables, graphs, and charts.
