The Welfare Reform Act, implemented in 1996, effectively reduced welfare fraud by instituting stricter eligibility requirements and enhancing verification processes, which helped ensure that benefits were directed to those truly in need. Additionally, the Act emphasized personal responsibility by introducing work requirements and time limits on assistance, encouraging recipients to seek employment and become self-sufficient.
