OMM/OCFS/OTDA Materials: LCMs From OTDA

99 LCM-25: Building Independence for the Long Term (BILT)
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) created a lifetime limit of no more than five years for receipt of assistance funded under a state's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant. As the five year limit nears for many recipients, Social Services agencies need to more aggressively engage families in self sufficiency activities shifting the goal of public assistance from merely preventing destitution to assisting families in achieving as high a level of self sufficiency as possible.
