    Extractions: Assessing the New Federalism is a multiyear Urban Institute project designed to analyze the devolution of responsibility for social programs from the federal government to the states, focusing primarily on health care, income security, employment and training programs, and social services. Researchers monitor program changes and fiscal developments. In collaboration with Child trends, the project studies changes in family well-being. The project aims to provide timely, nonpartisan information to inform public debate and to help state and local decisionmakers carry out their new responsibilities more effectively. Key components of the project include a household survey, studies of policies in 13 states, and a database with information on all states and the District of Columbia, available at the Urban Institute's web site. This paper is one in a series of occasional papers analyzing information from these and other sources. The nonpartisan Urban Institute publishes studies, reports, and books on timely topics worthy of public consideration. The views expressed are those of the authors and should not be attributed to the Urban Institute, its trustees, or its funders.

    Extractions: No. 1 in the Seminar Series, " Emerging Issues in Philanthropy ", a joint project by the Urban Institute Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy and the Harvard University Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations. The nonpartisan Urban Institute publishes studies, reports, and books on timely topics worthy of public consideration. The views expressed are those of the authors and should not be attributed to the Urban Institute, its trustees, or its funders. In 2000, the candidates running for president and the Clinton administration developed a number of legislative proposals that would affect the nonprofit sector, both directly and indirectly. These proposals would influence charitable giving and the way in which some charitable organizations operate. It remains to be seen which proposals ultimately will be enacted. Nonetheless, they illustrate the kinds of policy changes that are likely to be considered in the near future. The Urban Institute's Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy and Harvard University's Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations convened the third Seminar on Emerging Issues in Philanthropy in May 2000. The day-long roundtable brought together researchers, government officials, and nonprofit executives and advisers to discuss three types of proposals: those affecting charitable giving, those affecting charitable organizations, and those affecting faith-based organizations. This brief summarizes their main features and possible effects on charities and charitable giving.

View a complete, printer-friendly profile of this project. Evaluator(s) US General Accounting Office, Health, Education, and Human Services Division Goal To review states’ early experiences with benefit termination provisions under waivers to provide information useful to other states as they implement the new law. Specifically, the project describes: 1)those families whose benefits have been terminated under waivers; 2) federal or state benefits that are available and are being received after termination; and 3) states’ experiences in implementing these provisions. Program/Policy Description To encourage welfare recipients to fulfill their obligations, the new federal law include provisions allowing states to terminate benefits to a family for failure to comply with work and other requirements. After no more than 24 months of receiving benefits, parents and caretakers must work for a minimum of 20 hours a week. States are allowed to deny benefits for reasons including failure to pay child support or establish paternity. States may also use their discretion in establishing criteria for exempting families from there requirements. Federal law also states that families may not receive benefits for longer than 5 cumulative years.

Research Database Health Effects of Welfare Reform on Children with Chronic Illness General Information View a brief abstract of this project. View a complete, printer-friendly profile of this project. Evaluator(s) Boston Medical Center, Division of General Pediatrics Program/Policy Description Since children make up the majority of TANF recipients, we believe that it is crucial to consider how welfare reform may affect them. We are focusing on children with the chronic illnesses of asthma and sickle cell anemia since this population is potentially more vulnerable than other children. We are specifically interested in monitoring two provisions of welfare reform in Massachusetts - work requirements and the 2 year time limit - because we believe that these provisions may have a substantial impact on families. The specific objectives are: 1) description of the welfare reform experience of families with children aged 3-16 years who have asthma or sickle cell anemia; 2) assessment of children's health status in relation to welfare experience, including work requirements, and work status of their primary caretaker; and 3) assessment of children's health status before and after benefit termination.

    Extractions: INTRODUCTION This is one in a series of Ontario Social Safety NetWork Backgrounders, examining different aspects of Bill 142, the Social Assistance Reform Act , currently before the Ontario Legislature. Bill 142 will replace the current Family Benefits and General Welfare Assistance programs with two new programs. The Ontario Disability Support Plan (ODSPA) will provide assistance to some people with disabilities. All others in needthe unemployed, single mothers, elderly people and people with temporary illnesses or disabilitieswill have to seek assistance under the Ontario Works Act (OWA). ONTARIO WORKS AND EMPLOYMENT EXPECTATIONS The Ontario Works Act places employment expectations on far more people than before. 'Employable' people have always been required to seek work and accept any job they were physically capable of doing, but under the OWA, sole support parents of "older children" and many people currently considered disabled will also have employment expectations placed on them. (We won't know exactly who will be included until the province releases the OWA regulations, which it has so far not done.) This means people will be assigned to one of the Ontario Works program streams: Community Participation (work-for-welfare), Employment Supports (job search or basic skills training) or Employment Placement.

Each of these surveys collects data on earnings, a full range of income sources, and government program participation. In addition to these surveys, the Census Bureau is conducting an experimental survey, referred to as the SIPP Methods Panel, to test new questions for the core SIPP interview. The attached table compares question wording across these four surveys for welfare-related cash and non-cash assistance including the following: housing and energy assistance, food assistance, cash assistance, non-cash benefits, and welfare to work activities.

    Extractions: Summary of General Synod statements related to welfare The 22nd General Synod of the United Church of Christ meeting in 1999 passed a resolution titled "Redressing the Effects of 1996 Welfare Legislation." It included a theological foundations section quoted below. Jesus taught that the two most important commandments were, first, to "love the Lord our God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind," and second, that "you love your neighbor as you love yourself." (Matthew 22.37-39) The prayer of our savior still asks for each "day our daily bread." The tradition of the prophets (Micah 3.2-3; Sirach 34.25-27, Apocrypha) likens depriving persons of an adequate wage to murder. Christ still comes to us in "the least of these" who are hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, sick and in prison. (Matthew 25.3-1-46) The New Testament (1 John 3:17) asks how the love of God can abide in the hearts of persons who withhold help from persons in need.) In evaluating the early results of the passage of the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program as part of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, the 22nd General Synod noted the problem of moving from TANF into poverty and the related problems of child care and health care, of transportation and hunger and homelessness. This led the 22nd General Synod to make the following policy recommendations to oppose all governmental restrictions and conditions that oppress beneficiaries of TANF and to assist low-income families with one or more employed persons in the following ways:
