Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) provided assistance to very poor women and children from the government, but had a strict work requirement. If a woman started working, she risked losing all of her benefits, which encouraged many to remain dependent on government assistance. While AFDC did provide some relief to families in poverty, it did not lift 45% of children out of poverty as stated in option A.
