    Extractions: Welfare reform has been, and continues to be, one of my top legislative priorities, and it is a major issue before Congress this year. Legislation to this end has already been passed by the House of Representatives and several bills have been generated in the Senate. I have listened to a wide range of Pennsylvanians, from service providers to welfare recipients, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to produce legislation that moves more individuals off the welfare rolls and into self-sustaining employment. The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program was established in 1996 to replace a program called the Aid to Families with Dependent Children. I was privileged to be an author of the major welfare reform legislation that brought about this and many other changes. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act, as this legislation was named, strengthens families, discourages illegitimacy, demands accountability from parents, and stresses personal responsibility. Under TANF specifically, welfare recipients are required to work in exchange for time-limited benefits, and states enjoy significant flexibility in designing the eligibility criteria and benefit rules. I continue to follow the implementation of this important law, and I am committed to ensuring its success over time. Thousands of welfare recipients have already made the difficult transition to employment, but individuals with even greater barriers to independence remain on the welfare rolls. To assist these individuals, I have supported and will continue to support funding for programs such as the Social Services Block Grant and the Child Care and Development Block Grant, which encourage individual self-sufficiency and help states transition recipients from welfare to work.

    Extractions: Professors Lindsay Chase-Lansdale, Dan Lewis and Greg Duncan take a close look at how welfare reform affects families. Photo by Jim Ziv. To many, welfare reform has been an unequivocal success. Just look at the statistics, advocates say. Since the federal welfare reform legislation passed in 1996, the number of people receiving welfare benefits has dropped more than 50 percent nationwide. "Once they see that the rolls have dropped precipitously, many people think the problem is solved," explains Dan A. Lewis, a professor of education and social policy at Northwestern and a faculty fellow at Northwestern's Institute for Policy Research (IPR). "In Wisconsin the rolls have dropped 90 percent; in other states it's 50 to 60 percent. For some, that's it; that's the end of the story."

    http://www.agrm.org/welfare/parent.html
    
    Extractions: Today, 39 percent of the homeless population are parents and children. In addition, nearly one in seven children in America receives Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), the nation's main cash welfare program. Welfare for children and families, specifically the AFDC program, has been the focus of significant, often contentious congressional debate. This debate is fueled, in part, by the AFDC program's 30 percent growth since 1989. In 1994, this federal-state program cost $23 billion, plus $2.7 billion in administrative costs. (1) AFDC is an example of American welfare that promotes dependency and irresponsible behavior by parents. The original intent of programs such as the AFDC was to provide families temporary relief during difficult times. However, it is a fact that only seven percent of single parents on AFDC are now working full or part time. (2) The program has grown significantly in the past 5 years and Americans perceive that receiving welfare checks has become a way of life for more than 14.2 million people. IUGM mission take a different approach in helping poor families with children. IUGM missions do not provide "hand-outs," rather, they offer "hand-up" programs that help homeless parents and children move from dependency to self-sufficiency.

69. Issue Brief: Understanding Welfare Reform In Nevada
    By Robert Rector. Prior to the election, Congress passed historic welfare reform legislation which President Clinton reluctantly signed into law.

    Extractions: Examining Issues Facing Nevada November 5, 1996 Understanding Welfare Reform in Nevada By Robert Rector P rior to the election, Congress passed historic welfare reform legislation which President Clinton reluctantly signed into law. Regardless of his promises to correct the "flaws" of the bill, Nevada should have a basic understanding of how the legislation changes the current system. The legislation impacted four major areas of welfare: 1. Eliminating Perverse Financial Incentives for State Government. 2. Slowing the Growth of Welfare Spending. Contrary to reports in the press, the bill will not cut welfare spending. Instead it merely slows the rate of growth in spending. There are seven major programs affected by the legislation: Aid to Families with Dependent Children; Food Stamps; Social Services Block Grant; School lunch and other child nutritional programs; Foster Care; and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Under prior law aggregate spending in these programs was scheduled to grow by nearly 50 percent over the next seven years (an annual growth rate of roughly 6 percent). The reform bill will slow the rate of growth to around 35 percent over seven years (an annual growth rate of 4.5 percent). Thus the reform will state permit future aggregate spending in these programs to expand at faster than the rate of inflation. 3. Work Requirements.

    Extractions: P. Lindsay Chase-Lansdale , editors (JCPR affiliates) Russell Sage Foundation Publications. 2001. http://www.russellsage.org/publications/titles/forbetter.htm For Better and For Worse evaluates whether welfare reform has met one of its chief goals-improving the well-being of the nation's poor children. The book opens with a lively political history of the welfare reform legislation, which demonstrates how conservative politicians capitalize on public concern over such social problems as single parenthood to win support for the radical reforms. Part I reviews how individual states redesigned, implemented, and are managing their welfare systems. Part II focuses on national and multistate evaluations of the changes in welfare to examine how families and children are actually faring under the new system. Part III presents a variety of perspectives on policy options for the future. Table of Contents Greg Duncan and P. Lindsay Chase-Lansdale

The views expressed are those of the authors and should not be attributed to the Urban Institute, its trustees, or its funders. INTRODUCTION No one likes the current welfare system. Governors complain that federal law is overly prescriptive and are willing to take less federal money in return for more flexibility. The public believes that welfare is anti-work and anti-family although polls show that the public wants welfare reformed in ways that do not penalize children. Welfare recipients find dealing with the system degrading and demoralizing; most would prefer to work . Experts note that welfare has done little to stem the growth of poverty among children. In all but two states, welfare benefits (including food stamps) are insufficient to move a family above the poverty line In short, the current indictment against the welfare system has four particulars:
