Are there any States that have eliminated or modified the welfare ban on drug-related felonies that can find and share any previous fact sheets or testimony they used to successfully "opt out" or amend the ban to be more lenient?

Do any states currently require participants to complete monthly reports for their TANF work program? If yes, what information is requested? Also, what issues, if any, have been identified pertaining to monthly reporting? Arizona is considering mailing a monthly report to TANF work participants for reporting monthly activities instead of requiring case managers to contact participants on a weekly basis. For more information or to continue this discussion, please contact Mrs. Pat McBrayer at pmcbrayer@azdes.gov.
