Description	This article discusses the key points of the OCR (Opportunity Reconciliation Act). The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 created Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and repealed the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program. The 1996 law specifically provides that federal civil rights laws, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, apply to TANF programs.
