In accordance with P.L. 112-96, each state is required to report to the Secretary by February 22, 2014, and annually thereafter, on its implementation and maintenance of policies and practices that prevent TANF funded assistance from being used in any electronic benefit transfer transaction in any liquor store; any casino, gambling casino, or gaming establishment; or any retail establishment which provides adult-oriented entertainment in which performers disrobe or perform in an unclothed state for entertainment. The Administration for Children and Families is required to reduce a state's block grant if the state fails to comply with this reporting requirement or if, based on the information that the state reports in their Annual TANF Report, ACF finds that the state has not implemented and maintained the required policies and practices.
