The 5 year thing I'm more willing to accept because of there's a 5 year federal time for TANF but I did found out something interesting about it. Once the 60 month limit is reached they are dropped from it, at that point they can apply for a hardship extension (what entails as hardship is defined by the state). There is no time limit on the extension. The number of families receiving assistance for more than 60 months must not exceed 20 percent of the state's average monthy caseload. 

In other words, on paper or statistically, no one will receive more than 5 years of TANF but in reality they do. In regards, to the site I linked earlier, it was up to date supposedly so i thought that AFDC was a current program but I was mistaken.

It's not quite as simple as that; there are fairly strict guidelines for receiving a hardship extension past five years. You must either be employed for at least 32 hours a week, meet the Family Violence Option Criteria, or have child welfare issues and be actively working to resolve them. Additionally, the statistics I mentioned earlier take this into account. Regardless of why they're off, 90% are still off within 5 years, and I'd imagine the number is higher for welfare as a whole.

 

The criteria a person has to meet to get the extension is determined by each state. There's no federal guidelines other than a person having to used up the 60 months federal time limit to be able to apply for it. The only reason why "90%" or even a 100% are off of it is because of the time limit but they can just easily get the extension.
