Summary:

This report details the history, implementation, and implications of the Family Violence Option of the 1996 welfare law (P.L. 104- 193) which permits state programs of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families to waive federal rules regarding required work, time limited benefits, and child support cooperation for victims of domestic violence.
