On August 22, 1996, President Clinton signed into law the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996, Public Law 104-193. Although the food stamp program was not made into a block grant, PL 104-193 makes a number of significant changes to the Food Stamp Program. These changes: limit or end eligibility for certain groups; reduce or slow the growth in benefits; increase penalties for fraud, abuse and non-compliance; eliminate some administrative requirements; and provide increased flexibility in program design and operation.
