The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) issued a Final Rule to make changes to the TANF program regulations to require states to maintain policies and practices that prevent TANF funded assistance from being used in any electronic benefit transfer (EBT) transaction in any liquor store; any casino, gambling casino, or gaming establishment; or any retail establishment that provides adult-oriented entertainment. Provisions become effective immediately.
