[edit] Amounts

Article should mention how much is paid per month typically to recipients. Tempshill 05:48, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I can't speak nationally, but in Washington state the average payment per case is about $430/month. Also, TANF has been reauthorized under the Defecit Reduction Act.

This is good
