Answer 1

The TANF program is a welfare-to-work principle in which a grant is given to each state to run its own welfare program and designed to be temporary in nature and has several limits and requirements. The TANF grant has a maximum benefit of 2 consecutive years and a 5-year lifetime limit and requires that all recipients of welfare aid must find work within two years of receiving aid, including single parents who are required to work at least 30 hours per week opposed to 35 or 55 hours per week required by two-parent families. Therefore, Option C is correct.
