Summary:

TANF requires that states penalize families if a recipient refuses to engage in required work. States determine actual penalties. According to TANF state plans, for a first violation, 19 states end family benefits until compliance, or for a minimum penalty period. Others reduce benefits for a first infraction. For repeat violations, penalties are increased is size or length. Counting both first and subsequent violations, 38 jurisdictions under some circumstances have provisions to penalize work infractions by ending family benefits for a time. Ultimately, seven of those 38 jurisdictions end family benefits for life. In FY1999, sanctions caused the closing of $156,000 TANF cases.
