Abstract:
Pending budget legislation would change the TANF work participation rate rules in important ways. At the same time, current rules relating to many aspects of the participation rate structure would remain unchanged. This document provides a summary of the overall structure that would result, including how participation rate requirements would be calculated, which activities would count as participation, and how the “caseload reduction credit†and penalty provisions would work.
