Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The TANF program emphasized work requirements for those receiving subsidies and established lifetime limits on how long someone could receive assistance. It did not focus on subsidies for the elderly or expansion of food assistance programs. While TANF did provide welfare subsidies for families with children, this was not its primary emphasis. Children's healthcare was also not a main focus of the TANF program.
