Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program was set up by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act in 1996. B is incorrect because TANF actually gave states more discretion in benefit distribution compared to the previous program, Aid to Families with Dependent Children. C is incorrect because TANF sets broad guidelines for eligibility, but each state has the discretion to establish its own specific criteria for determining eligibility and benefit levels. D is partially true but not the best choice since TANF places a strong emphasis on work requirements and job placement but does not necessarily require states to spend large amounts on education and training.
