Summary:

Provides history on work participation standards and requirements for cash assistance recipients of HHS Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant, which was created by 1996 welfare reform law. Reviews major studies on what types of welfare-to-work programs are effective. Discusses TANF work provisions that apply directly to individuals, TANF work participation standards that apply to States, and related FY2009 data. Addresses issues for Congress, including how work standards can address changing circumstances, and difficulties of measuring State performance in context of a block grant. Includes tables and graphs.
