AFDC got replaced with the more restrictive TANF as the primary federal-funded welfare program in the 1990s by the Republican Congress with Clinton’s support, but welfare was not repealed.
"There is a maximum of 60 months of benefits within one's lifetime, but some states have instituted shorter periods."
Many Americans think you can collect welfare payments, which are about $300 per person, depending on the state, in perpetuity.
That's just not true.
I still wonder where this 'welfare' system is that people think exist.
