Recent Findings in Brief

09/01/00: State Policy Documentation Project: Sanctions for Non-Compliance With Work Activities

Interim Descriptive/Analytical Findings:

"Under TANF, states must require recipients to participate in work activities and must impose financial penalties on families that refuse, without good cause, to do so... States are also required to impose sanctions if an individual fails to cooperate without good cause with child support enforcement requirements. In addition, other provisions of the law authorize, but do not require states to impose TANF sanctions on an individual who refuses without good cause to comply with an individual responsibility plan that may set forth a range of actions that an individual must take, such as immunization of children or school attendance."
