Crunch time for Congress Members act on welfare, health care reform August 1, 1996 Web posted at: 11:30 p.m. EDT WASHINGTON (CNN) Pushing to pass legislation before members leave for a monthlong recess, Congress acted on a number of bills Thursday, including sending President Clinton a historic welfare reform bill. With a vote of 78 to 21, the Senate followed the House's lead and passed the final version of the compromise welfare bill. Clinton, who vetoed two previous versions, has pledged to sign it. The bill turns control of welfare over to the states; limits lifetime benefits to five years; requires adults to work after two years; and denies assistance to noncitizens, even those who are in the United States legally. Clinton considers the last provision extreme, along with the bill's food stamp cuts, and said he'll work to change them. Before the Senate voted, protesters from the group Housing Works, which helps AIDS-infected homeless people, stood up in the Senate chamber and shouted "Shame! Shame!"

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:

For 10 years she was out of the workforce. Then came welfare reform. Vilma says she needs two jobs to make ends meet. It's 5:00 pm in downtown Sioux Falls - people are heading home after work. But tucked between two buildings on Main Street about a hundred people line up for a meal at the local soup kitchen called "The Banquet." Some are homeless, many are on welfare but are working under the new welfare reform program. However, they say they're still finding it hard to make ends meet. That's why they're here for a meal. They can also get a free flu shot. It's a preventative measure city and county officials believe is important particularly for low income people. The Centers for Disease Control does not list low income as an at risk factor for the shot. But the city does. When asked, people in line all have health care problems and more over problems with paying bills. Roxanne has four children and with recent changes to the state Medicaid program, her children now qualify. She says that and county services help. But when it comes to the hospitals, she's not so favorable.

For Welfare Reform to Work, Jobs Must be Available By Heather Boushey and David Rosnick April 1, 2004 As Congress debates significant changes to the Personal Responsibility and Work Reconciliation Act , commonly known as welfare reform, they should take into account the hardships that higher unemployment has caused for low-income women and their families. Wanting to be off welfare is not enough; the labor market must provide employment opportunities. Although the recession was relatively brief, from March to November 2001, the labor market continued to shed jobs until late summer 2003. Since then, job growth has been paltry at best and the unemployment rate of less educated women and single female heads of households remains high. Former welfare recipients found jobs in a small number of industries, many of which saw higher job gains and stronger wage growth than the economy overall in the late 1990s. However, during the economic recession of 2001 and the recent recovery, these same industries have not performed as well. Over the recovery, of the eight private-sector industries with a high proportion of former welfare recipients, three have seen greater job losses than the private sector overall. Wage growth has been slower than the average for the private sector overall for workers in retail trade, food services and drinking places, temporary help, nursing and residential care, and child day care services. With jobs scare and wage growth slow to negative in the industries that former welfare recipients found employment in, increasing work hour requirements above the existing 30 hours would not create jobs, but make life harder for those already struggling to find a job. Mandating more work hours from the people hardest hit from the recession would not help to increase employment; rather, what welfare reform needs is robust job growth.

Health care providers brace for welfare reform impact By BETH HALLMARK / Abilene Reporter-News As sweeping reform begins to move welfare recipients off welfare and into work, health care providers are trying to prepare for the effects the changes will have on their industry. Though local providers agree it is too early to fully diagnose the impact, they expect the next few years will expose the challenges wrought by welfare reform. "It's all educated conjecture at this point," said Chris Robinson, Abilene Regional Medical Center's regional health services administrator. "But there is a strong suspicion that the medically uninsured population will grow." Though welfare reform provisions added time limits and work requirements to programs such as food stamps and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF formerly Aid to Families with Dependent Children), Medicaid has remained largely intact and expanded in many states. Provisions of this year's Balanced Budget Act also extended Medicaid to children losing Supplemental Security Income due to more stringent disability classifications and to legal immigrants already enrolled in the program. And under current policy, income-eligible welfare recipients going back to work can receive a year of transitional Medicaid benefits.

Welfare Reform Threatens Access to Health Care In 1996 the welfare reform law went into effect. Since then welfare rolls have dropped dramatically across the country and many look to this drop in the number of individuals on welfare as a success. There are many sides to this story however, and some serious unintented consequences as a result. As part of the welfare reform law, Congress realized that a vital part of assisting people in making the transition from welfare to work was to insure that they were still able to have access to health care coverage. To meet that goal, Congress "de-linked" the cash assistance part of welfare from Medicaid. Unfortunately despite this de-linking, hundreds of thousands of people as of 1997 lost health insurance as an unintended consequence of welfare reform. On May 13, 1999, Washington Citizen Action, along with the Children’s Alliance and the Welfare Rights Organizing Coalition released a national study compiled by Families USA entitled "Losing Health Insurance: the Unintended Consequences of Welfare Reform." Along with the national data, the groups released Washington State data, indicating that the problem is happening here in our state as well. In a July 1998 survey of Washington’s single parents who recently left welfare caseloads, the Department of Social and Health Services reported that only 57% of the children were receiving coverage through Medicaid, and only 36% of the adults.

On the evening of September 23, 1993, I sat in the gallery of the House of Representatives for President Clinton's speech introducing the administration's Health Security plan. For those of us who had worked on it, this was the climax of a long, intense, and not always easy collaboration. I had been one of about ten people on the health policy team in the White House who had written and rewritten the plan after the cast of hundreds had left. Now the president had the nation's attention focused on ideas we deeply believed in, and he spoke with tremendous force. At first it seemed Clinton would move the country. The next morning, Stanley Greenberg, the president's pollster, crowed that the overnight surveys showed we were winning two-thirds approval. Commentators were saying that no matter how the battle over details might work out, the president had established the right principles and challenged Americans to a great, historic mission. The principle of health coverage for all was an achievement, wrote A.M. Rosenthal of the

Home Collections Social sciences print ... site map Welfare Reform on the Web - Issue 21 - May 2001 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.

WEEKLY COLUMN Friday, August 2, 1996 MISSION IMPOSSIBLE ACCOMPLISHED: HEALTH CARE AND WELFARE REFORM Like the Gordian Knot from the days of King Arthur which no one could untie, the troubled welfare system and our critical health care industry have for years defied the efforts of Congress to reform them, until now. Congress has done what many said couldn't be done, and has approved a welfare reform bill that is both tough and compassionate. Congress also has changed the health care system to expand coverage for working families, without the government takeover proposed by the Clinton Administration three years ago. The reforms are a new beginning for welfare. The dignity of work is reestablished by making it a condition for receiving benefits and time limits are established to help provide a schedule for moving families into self-sufficiency. At the same time, the new reforms strengthen the safety net for the most vulnerable. Child support enforcement is bolstered so single parents can get the money they're owed. Funding is increased for childcare so welfare parents can take a job and know someone is watching their kids. Also, states can excuse the poorest families from the five-year time limits in acknowledgement that there will always be poverty, and we must help. Ohio will do very well under the new reforms. Governor Voinovich, in fact, has been a leading advocate for the bill because of the new flexibility states will have to innovate. Ohio will receive $728 million a year, and more than $900 million over five years for childcare. This is major assistance, coupled with a special contingency fund for states in case of a recession.

El Cato August 20, 1997 Ending Welfare Reform as We Know It by Michael Tanner Michael Tanner is director of health and welfare studies at the Cato Institute. Alas, welfare reform, we hardly knew ye. Last summer, as the election approached, President Clinton and congressional leaders gathered on the White House lawn to celebrate legislation to "end welfare as we know it." While it is unlikely to receive the same ceremony, the budget deal quietly ends welfare reform as we know it. But workfare was never intended to be a job in any traditional sense. It is designed to be a transitional program to assist individuals until they are able to get real jobs. Almost as important as the benefits people on workfare receive are the skills they learn that will allow them to enter the real world of work. Critics of workfare warn that, if poorly implemented, welfare-to-work programs could simply become a source of government-guaranteed jobs. The Labor Department’s ruling makes that far more likely. Even under welfare reform, welfare spending was scheduled to rise by nearly $400 billion by 2002, despite declining caseloads.
