Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) social welfare program ended with
1998. With passage of the Federal Personal
Responsibility & Work Opportunity Act of 1996 and California's subsequent
implementation of the California Work Opportunity & Responsibility to Kids
Act (CalWORKs), recipients of aid were required, beginning in 1999, to
participate in CalWORKs directed work related activities.
