Established in 1935, AFDC was designed to help support single-parent households and those in need. The program was replaced by Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) in 1996.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
No, AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) was not a categorical grant; it was a means-tested entitlement program that provided financial assistance to low-income families with children. AFDC was designed to support families based on their need rather than being restricted to specific categories or projects. However, it was replaced in 1996 by the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, which introduced more flexibility and state control over welfare provision.
