N.J. Admin. Code § 10:69-1.1
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Public Law 104-193, enacted August 22, 1996, implemented Federal welfare reform. The new Federal law eliminated the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program and created a Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant for states to provide time-limited cash assistance. New Jersey's block grant program is established as Work First New Jersey (WFNJ) in accordance with the Work First New Jersey Act, P.L. 1997, c. 13, c.14, c.37 and c.38. P.L. 104-193 also required that the regulations governing a state's eligibility for AFDC-related Medicaid in effect in the State as of July 16, 1996, must continue to determine eligibility for AFDC-related Medicaid. This chapter is the continuation of the appropriate AFDC-related Medicaid rules.
