In 1996 , President Bill Clinton negotiated with the Republican -controlled United States Congress to pass the Personal Responsibility And Work Opportunity Act which drastically remade the program. Among other things, a lifetime limit of five years was imposed on the receipt of benefits, and the newly-limited nature of the replacement program was reinforced by calling AFDC's successor Temporary Assistance For Needy Families (TANF). Many Americans continue to refer to TANF as "welfare" or AFDC. EXTERNAL LINKS |
