The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 converted the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program into block grants to states, known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), but it did not convert Food Stamps (now known as SNAP) and Medicaid into block grants. These programs remained as federal entitlements.
