AFDC stands for Aid to Families with Dependent Children. It was a federal assistance program in the United States that provided financial aid to low-income families with children. 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.

Does the father have to pay AFDC back half of what they paid in assistance to the mother while pregnant?

This is highly probable. You really need to check into the state laws in which the mother is receiving the AFDC assistance. Be prepared to pay child support, AFDC can garnish your checks for their money, as well as take your income tax returns for any back child support, so your best bet is to call the office of AFDC where the mother is receiving her assistance and ask them for all the particulars.

What is the main difference between AFDC and TANF?

The main difference between AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) and TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) lies in their structure and goals. AFDC, which was established in 1935, provided cash assistance to low-income families with children without strict time limits. In contrast, TANF, enacted in 1996, emphasizes temporary assistance with work requirements and time limits, aiming to promote self-sufficiency and reduce dependency on government support. TANF also gives states more flexibility in designing their welfare programs compared to AFDC.

If you give up rights the child will you still be liable for back child support owed?

First, only the courts AND the mother can allow you to give up parental rights, provided the mother is not now, or in the future, collecting AFDC. It would stop current payments, but not previously owed payments, especially if she had had collected AFDC. They have override power.
