Abstract

The Welfare Rules Databook describes the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and provides tables summarizing key TANF policies for each state as of July 2003. Other tables included describe selected policies from 1996 through 2003. The Databook includes initial and ongoing eligibility policies, benefits policies, and requirements policies. The tables are based on information in the Welfare Rules Database, a publicly available, fully searchable database.
