This paper summarizes some of the key research findings from recent welfare reform research primarily research released in the last year and discusses the policy implications of these findings. Key findings from this new set of research include: Current TANF proposals that are pending in Congress would do little to address most of these challenges. When the Senate takes up TANF reauthorization, it should take these recent research findings into account and ensure that states have the resources and flexibility to address these issues.

Extractions: by Joe Barnett and Todd Gabel Successes So Far. With the goal of reducing welfare dependency, TANF introduced a number of significant reforms, including time limits on the receipt of benefits, work requirements and an array of financial incentives. The results have been positive: Need: Fewer Exemptions from Work. Due to declining welfare caseloads, states were given credits that lowered the work participation requirements for those remaining on the rolls. In fact, Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute says that in 31 states caseload reduction credits decreased the actual number of recipients required to work to zero. Further, many states exempt a large portion of adult welfare recipients, including: parents of young children (47 states); individuals who lack adequate transportation or face other barriers to work (28 states); and parents who cannot find adequate child care (28 states).

Extractions: view by issue ... Return Home The erosion of marriage has created enormous difficulties for children, parents, and society. Today, one child in three is born out of wedlock. Compared to children born within marriage, children born outside of marriage are overwhelmingly more likely to live in poverty, depend on welfare, and have behavior problems. They are also more likely to suffer depression and physical abuse, fail in school, abuse drugs, and end up in jail. In response to the overwhelming evidence concerning the harmful consequences of the decline of marriage, the 1996 welfare reform law set a national goal to increase and strengthen two-parent families. To help meet that goal, President George W. Bush wants to set aside $300 million per year for specific programs to strengthen marriage as part of the reauthorization of welfare reform. These programs would teach relationship skills to unmarried couples at the time of pregnancy, with the goal of helping couples develop healthy marriages. The programs would also provide marriage-skills training to low-income married couples to help those couples improve their relationships and avoid marital breakup. Record of Success.

Child Support Enforcement THE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND WORK OPPORTUNITY RECONCILIATION ACT OF 1996 (Conference Agreement for HR 3437) The conference agreement for HR 3437, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 was passed by the House on July 31 (328 yeas-101 nays) and by the Senate on August 1 (78 yeas-21 nays). Prior to the House vote, the President announced his attention to sign the bill, thus "ending welfare as we know it." The bill is a comprehensive piece of legislation with far-reaching implications in a number of programs. The bill eliminates the open-ended federal entitlement program of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and creates a block grant for states to provide time-limited cash assistance for needy families. The comprehensive legislation also makes far-reaching changes to child care, the Food Stamp Program, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for children, benefits for legal immigrants and the Child Support Enforcement program. Modifications to the child nutrition programs and a reduction in the Social Services Block Grant are also included. Unlike previous versions, however, current law is retained for child welfare and child protection programs. The legislation will save an estimated $54.5 billion over six years with the majority of savings due to changes in the Food Stamp Program and reduction in benefits for legal immigrants.

Extractions: A Progress Report by Lisa E. Oliphant Lisa E. Oliphant is an entitlements policy analyst at the Cato Institute. Executive Summary Fours year ago, President Clinton signed into law the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, promising to put an end to dependence on welfare by requiring work and responsibility and encouraging two-parent families. The conversion of the old entitlements-based Aid to Families with Dependent Children program into the new work-oriented Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program has brought about some of the most talked-about public policy phenomena of the last decade, including dramatically reduced caseloads and an influx of single mothers into the labor market. Welfare reform is generally regarded as a great success, and policymakers today are talking about incremental add-ons to the 1996 legislation.

O'Neill And O'Neill: Lessons For Welfare Reform: An Analysis Of The AFDC Caseloa
Identifies historical trends in the AFDC caseload, the personal characteristicsof recipients, and broad patterns of welfare participation.
http://www.upjohninst.org/publications/titles/lwr.html

Extractions: Dave M. O'Neill and June Ellenoff O'Neill (The first chapter of this book is available in PDF format.) Welfare reforms enacted in 1996 are here. A 60-month lifetime limit for welfare benefits is in place, as is a work requirement after two years on the rolls. Furthermore, states have assumed greater autonomy over welfare spending and have become responsible for new programs to replace the now-defunct Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) for six decades the nation's principal cash assistance welfare program and its accompanying education, work and training programs. In Lessons for Welfare Reform , Dave M. O'Neill and June Ellenoff O'Neill have compiled and analyzed data that identifies historical trends in the AFDC caseload, the personal characteristics of recipients, and broad patterns of welfare participation. They also offer an evaluative survey on the effectiveness of past education, training and workfare programs in reducing the AFDC caseload. The result is a book that offers thoughtful new analyses on several crucial questions facing state policy makers as a result of welfare reform including: 1) How many recipients can be expected to reach the five-year limit imposed by the new legislation? 2) What are the personal characteristics and labor-market options of those who reach this limit? 3) How helpful are work/training programs in reducing welfare dependency? 4) How will current and potential recipients react to a reduction in the financial benefits available from welfare? and 5) Will teenage out-of-wedlock childbearing fall in unison with the incidence of welfare participation among young women?

It draws on the congressional hearings preceding the act's passage to argue that the act was crafted to discipline poor women who seemed to challenge traditional gender roles and deep-seated values about women's place in American society.
