Statement I is true since the Welfare Reform Act of 1996 was a major overhaul of the welfare system and introduced significant changes such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Statement II is also true since putting able-bodied individuals to work is a common approach advocated by both Republicans and Democrats to address poverty and welfare dependency. Therefore, both statements are true.
