Abstract:
The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program contains two provisions related to minor parents and their families: 1) minor parent recipients are required to participate in education or training and 2) minor parents are required to reside in an approved living situation, typically with a parent or other adult relative. This paper summarizes Congressional action in 2001-2003 related to teen parents and TANF. It also includes actions on second chance (maternity group) home provisions even if they do not amend the TANF statute.
