Aid to Families with Dependent Children

Read a random definition: no-fault divorce

A quick definition of Aid to Families with Dependent Children:

Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) was a program that helped families with children who didn't have enough money to take care of them. The government gave money to the states, and the states gave the money to the families who needed it. But now, AFDC doesn't exist anymore. It has been replaced by a new program called Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). TANF is also a program that helps families in need, but it's a little different from AFDC. Families can only get help for up to five years, and each state has its own rules for who can get help.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) was a welfare program that provided financial assistance to families with dependent children who were in need. It was funded by the federal government and administered by the states. However, it is now obsolete and has been replaced by Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF).

Example: A single mother with two children who lost her job and had no other means of support could apply for AFDC to receive financial assistance to help her provide for her family's basic needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter.

Explanation: AFDC was designed to help families who were struggling financially and had no other means of support. The program provided financial assistance to help families meet their basic needs and support their children. However, the program had its limitations, and it was replaced by TANF, which provides more flexibility to the states in terms of eligibility requirements and limits the amount of time families can receive assistance.

Definition: Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) is a combined state and federal program that provides limited financial assistance to families in need. It replaced AFDC and provides more flexibility to the states in terms of eligibility requirements and limits the amount of time families can receive assistance.

Example: A family with two children who lost their job and had no other means of support could apply for TANF to receive financial assistance to help them provide for their basic needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter. However, the family would be limited to no more than five years of assistance.

Explanation: TANF is designed to provide temporary financial assistance to families in need. The program is more flexible than AFDC, and states have more control over eligibility requirements. However, families are limited to no more than five years of assistance, and the program is designed to encourage families to become self-sufficient and independent.
