Congress responded to public pressure to reduce federal involvement in welfare programs by passing the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act just prior to the 1996 election. This legislation replaced AFDC with a more limited program known as TANF, Temporary Aid for Needy Families. New restrictions and sanctions were imposed on the states to minimize the number and eligibility of recipients and the length of time they could receive benefits. Welfare participation declined significantly.
