This group developed the framework for legislation that was passed in 1994. The former Department of Social Services (now the Department of Health and Human Services) was authorized to request federal waivers to implement the state's welfare reform. The waivers were obtained and in 1995 the Legislature passed LB 445.

Stat house Life after welfare reform Brief history On August 22, 1996, President Clinton signed into law the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, a welfare reform law that established the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program (TANF replaced the government's Aid to Families with Dependent Children [AFDC] program). Under this legislation, states are now responsible for implementing their own welfare programs to assist welfare recipients. However, the federal government has provisions for states related to moving families into work and self-sufficiency.

    Extractions: by Jan Erickson, Government Relations Director and Irma Espino, Government Relations Intern For the last several years, proponents of so-called welfare "reform" have been telling stories about poor moms living on welfare finally being pushed off dependency, finding gainful employment and now successfully making it on their own. We have also heard the statistics: the number of people receiving assistance fell dramatically from 5 million in 1994 to 2.5 million in 1999. But what is really going on with women on the welfare-to-work path? Now that the five-year limitation on public assistance under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) is ending, it is important to look closely at the experiences of millions of low-income families. Congress will review the so-called reform effort and enact re-authorizing legislation next year. The National Organization for Women and other advocacy organizations are critical of the PRWORA's shortcomings and its failure to determine if poor women have moved safely into stable and sufficient employment situations. Most states do not track welfare recipients once they move off the rolls, so it is difficult or impossible to know how many have in fact achieved economic success. Official reports fail to document, for example, that thousands of recipients have been kicked off welfare due to sanctions and not because they found employment. Caseload reduction, not poverty reduction, is the measure by which states are evaluated under the present system. Clearly, that has been a wrong standard of measurement.

    Extractions: C omplex child care arrangements are a common feature of working life for parents in the United States. However, parents with low-wage jobs — and especially single parents with histories of welfare receipt — make these arrangements within unusually tight time and financial constraints while facing limited child care options. Analyzing rich data from in-depth ethnographic interviews conducted in Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia, Next Generation researchers documented the challenges that low-income families face as they patch together a variety of arrangements to meet their child care needs. Unregulated or minimally regulated informal care typically plays a central role in these families’ patchworks of care, meeting some families’ needs very well but representing inadequate or unsafe arrangements of last resort for many others. Generally living in very poor urban neighborhoods, the families interviewed for these studies are a particularly disadvantaged subset of low-income families; but their stories raise important issues for policymakers concerned with protecting our most vulnerable children. The studies point to three policy directions that can promote the well-being of children while helping vulnerable low-income parents to sustain employment: continued investment in access to high-quality, flexible, and reliable child care; expanded initiatives to improve the quality of informal care; and the development of operational strategies in the welfare and child care subsidy systems to support the goal of promoting child well-being.

    Extractions: NEW YORK CITY, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2001 Tens of thousands of legal immigrants in New York State who are ineligible for Medicaid and Family Health Plus (FHP) because of welfare reform restrictions could be insured at minimal cost to the state, according to a new report by The Commonwealth Fund. The report estimates that more than 167,000 legal immigrants over age 18 whose incomes are low enough to qualify for Medicaid or FHP could be eligible for coverage immediately if the state acted to restore eligibility as it was before the 1996 welfare reform law. The law eliminated federal matching funds for Medicaid for almost all legal immigrants who entered the country after August 1996. At least ten states, including New York's neighbors New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, have already changed their policies on legal immigrants' eligibility for public health insurance. In joining them, the authors point out, New York would be recognizing the importance of immigrants to its economy and workforce. Both immigrants and citizens in New York pay on average the same percentage of their earnings in income taxes-about one-third.

    Extractions: This article originally appeared in the May-June 2000 issue of the Children's Advocate newsmagazine, published by Action Alliance for Children. The number of Americans on welfare has dropped by about half since 1993, from 14 million to almost seven million. Does this mean that welfare reform, enacted in 1996 and implemented in 1997, has been a "success?" Evaluations done in the first few years of welfare reform show that moving off welfare does not necessarily mean moving out of poverty. Poverty itself, not just welfare, is harmful to children. A recent Children's Defense Fund report, Poverty Matters, compiles research showing that children in poor families are in worse health than other children and face greater risk of "stunted growth, anemia, repeated years of schooling, lower test scores, and less education." Many people have left welfare because of "sanctions"—cuts in welfare payments imposed because the recipient failed to meet a welfare requirement. Estimates of the number who left because of sanctions range from 10 percent to 40 percent. In Utah, a follow-up study of families leaving welfare uncovered a nearly 50 percent error rate in sanctions from Utah's TANF program. Physical and mental health problems impair the ability of many welfare recipients to hold jobs. A study by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities found that between one-quarter and one-third of TANF recipients have serious mental health problems. Other studies have found that between one-fifth and one-third have learning disabilities. Of TANF recipients not currently working, between one-fifth and one-half "have health problems they believe prevent them from working"—but many don't have disabilities that qualify for federal disability income.

    Extractions: site map Welfare Reform on the Web - Issue 58 - May 2004 The future of the Welfare State is being hotly debated both within the UK and abroad. Social research institutions, think tanks, pressure groups, charities and professional associations have contributed to the debate alongside government opposition politicians and the media. Comment and analysis is found in a wide range of research reports, government consultation and policy papers, academic and trade journals and quality newspapers. Welfare Reform Digest aims to help social policy practitioners and researchers to keep up to date with this flood of literature. We systematically scan the quality press, the British Library's intake of social science books and government publications, and a wide range of trade and academic journals to identify relevant material. We then produce full bibliographic references with detailed abstracts to give both the flavour of the cut and thrust of the debate and an overview of the research literature. The first, pilot, issue covered material scanned from mid June to mid July 1998. The second issue comprised material scanned in March 1999, and new data is now added on a monthly basis.

    Extractions: In the area of health care reform, Cato has had remarkable success in familiarizing the public, media, and policymakers with the free-market alternative to managed health care proposals — medical savings accounts (MSAs). The essence of this market-based approach to controlling health care costs was first identified by Cato's scholars in the 1980s, translated into a book in 1992 called Patient Power , and incorporated into nearly every bill put forth in 1994 in opposition to Clinton's managed-competition plan. Because the Cato Institute had the initiative and resources to clarify the health care reform issue before the Clinton administration issued its proposal, Cato's scholars were in a unique position to help avert a national policy disaster. Cato's efforts to popularize the free-market, MSA approach to health care reform in 1994-1995 centered on the distribution of Patient Power to doctors, patients, and policymakers. Michael Tanner, the department's director, also testified before the Senate Special Committee on Aging and the Senate Finance Committee on the need for healthcare, specifically Medicare, reform, and testified before the National Bipartisan Commission on Medicare reform. Additionally, Tanner wrote op-eds that appeared in

    Extractions: Sometimes in Washington the hardest answers to find are the ones that are the most obvious. So it is with welfare reform. Judging from the debate on Capitol Hill, one would think that figuring out what's wrong with welfare is exceedingly complex. In fact, it's quite simple. Welfare mothers, like mothers everywhere, need jobs that enable them to provide for their families and they need someone to look after their children while they're at work. For welfare reform to work, it has to work for mothers, whose families constitute the vast majority of the welfare caseload. And for their transition to work to last, mothers must have access to affordable child care and good jobs with decent wages and needed benefits, such as health insurance. The only hard question is whether or not Congress will do enough to help mothers meet these needs when it reauthorizes the welfare reform legislation of 1996 (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families or TANF). The latest research on the subject strongly suggests that we need to do more than what is contained in the bill passed by the Senate Finance Committee.

The President will release new data showing that welfare caseloads have dropped by 8.3 million – nearly 60 percent – since 1993 from 14.1 million to 5.8 million recipients as of June 2000. Since the welfare reform law was signed in August 1996, caseloads have declined by more than 50 percent.

WRN believes that an adequate welfare program is an indispensable component of economic security, that welfare should cover all needy people and be available for as long as it is needed without any time limit or other condition, and that welfare benefits should be adequate in amount. WRN also believes that, beyond welfare, government must assure the other essential components of economic security such as jobs, a minimum wage that is a living wage, comprehensive health coverage, quality child care, and open access to ongoing education and training. The Congress which begins in January 2001 will consider the reauthorization of the TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) program, which must be reauthorized if it is to continue beyond 2002. WRN urges Congress to use the reauthorization process to close or reduce the wide gap between current realities and true economic security.
