You are wrong. There is NO federal cap on the number of children one can have while receiving welfare benefits in the United States. However, some states have implemented “family caps” or “child exclusion” policies within their Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs, which limit or deny additional cash assistance for children born while a family is receiving welfare. These policies are not uniform across all states, and some states have repealed them.
No cap on number of children. There is a maximum dollar amount. If a family is at max, additional children will have no effect, cash benefits will not increase.
Exactly. BTW this is an abuse of taxpayers dollars. Why should FAMILY who pays for their own children pay to someone who has kids they can’t afford?
