- Sadly, structural issues allow—and even incentivize—states to exploit and manipulate the TANF program. Moreover, waste, fraud, and abuse are occurring, undermining the program and diverting already limited resources. The lack of attention to these issues by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which administers TANF at the federal level, adds to the program’s inefficiencies.
