TANF places more stringent limits on financial assistance to needy families. AFDC placed more stringent limits on financial assistance to needy families. TANF has a far larger budget of $33 billion annually, so it is able to disburse more funding to needy families. AFDC barred legal immigrants from receiving TANF and food stamps.
