## Summary

**Limits TANF eligibility for most "qualified aliens."** The American Families First Assistance Act would make most aliens defined as "qualified aliens" in section 431 ineligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). It relies on section 431 definitions and preserves narrow exceptions for certain categories in section 431(b), including some Cuban nationals. - Families with noncitizen members: Many immigrant families and their children who meet the "qualified alien" definition would no longer qualify for TANF help under this bill. - Immigrants in specified exception categories: People who fall under the limited exceptions listed in section 431(b), including certain Cuban nationals, would remain eligible. - State TANF programs: States would have to exclude most qualified aliens from receiving federal TANF block grant benefits, changing who can receive that federally funded assistance.
