American Families First Assistance Act

This bill changes federal law on which non-citizens can receive benefits from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. It would make 'qualified aliens,' a category defined in federal immigration benefits law, ineligible for TANF, regardless of other laws. The bill exempts groups described in three listed paragraphs of that definition. One of these applies only to Cuban nationals. The bill also removes TANF from a list of federal programs in a part of current law that addresses state choices on non-citizen eligibility.
