Summary

In late June 2002, the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance approved the Work, Opportunity, and Responsibility for Kids (WORK) Act of 2002, a bill to reauthorize the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant. This white paper brings some much needed attention to ensuring fair treatment in TANF, highlights key civil rights measures, and calls on lawmakers to promote equal opportunity for Latino families.
