Work Requirements Tracker

Work requirements vary widely across programs and states. As state rules change, this tracker, developed by the Urban Institute, identifies and tracks policy changes for work requirements for state-administered TANF programs. The tool compiles data from the Welfare Rules Databook, published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service; Urban Institute’s analysis of state Section 1115 waiver applications submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; and annual reports submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development by Moving to Work demonstration sites.
