The 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWOR) (PL 104-193), also called the "Welfare Reform Act," became law on August 22, 1996 with the signature of President Bill Clinton.

The Act ended most welfare and angered many of Clinton's more [[liberal]] constituents. The Act changed the welfare system into one requiring work in exchange for time-limited assistance. The Act contained a performance bonus to reward states for moving welfare recipients into jobs, state maintenance of effort requirements, and support for families moving from welfare to work.
