A more thorough explanation:

Definition: PRWORA stands for Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. It is a law passed by the United States government in 1996 that changed the way welfare programs work.

Example: Before PRWORA, people who were eligible for welfare could receive benefits for an unlimited amount of time. However, PRWORA put a limit on how long people could receive benefits and required them to work or participate in job training programs in order to continue receiving assistance.

Explanation: The example illustrates how PRWORA emphasizes personal responsibility and work opportunities. The law aims to encourage people to become self-sufficient by requiring them to work or participate in job training programs. This helps them gain the skills and experience they need to find and keep a job, which in turn reduces their reliance on government assistance.
