    Extractions: 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.

Zuckerman [*] The 1996 welfare reform law radically changed welfare as we knew it, after many years of debate and concerns across the ideological spectrum. Research should have provided essential information to revise the program, but instead, research was used as an ideological weapon to support conflicting points of view. President Clinton promised to end welfare as we know it but his welfare reform plan was superceded by the election of a Republican majority of the House and Senate in 1994. The resulting welfare bill included key elements from the Republican Contract with America. The purpose of this article is to describe how political pressures resulted in a dramatic change in law, despite doomsday predictions and almost no solid information about the law's likely impact.

Kandula Colleen M. Grogan Paul J. Rathouz Diane S. Lauderdale Our second question asks: was the size of the decline in enrollment for qualified immigrants less in states that continued Medicaid eligibility for unqualified immigrants compared to those in states that did not continue Medicaid for unqualified immigrants? We hypothesized that qualified immigrants living in the eight states that continued Medicaid for unqualified immigrants would experience less of a decline in enrollment than qualified immigrants living in states that did not cover unqualified immigrants. States may have been able to shield immigrants from the spillover effect of federal welfare reform by continuing Medicaid for all immigrants. Again, the mechanisms of this are complex and may include differences in state Medicaid programs that extend beyond their immigrant policy. However, because variations in state Medicaid programs are extensive and continuously changing, we chose to focus on the one policy toward immigrants that has been most constant since 1996.

    Extractions: Monday, Nov. 15, 2004, at 9:28 AM PT Dear Mickey and Ron, I'm happy that we can use Jason DeParle 's recent book American Dream , a powerful and well-written account of the journey of three Milwaukee women in the wake of the 1996 welfare bill, as an occasion to discuss the welfare reform movement. Frankly, I'm glad welfare as we knew it ended. Despite my many misgivings about the 1996 bill, including its unconscionable cuts in food stamps and Medicaid for legal immigrants, what's to like about a system that gave mothers a small monthly check—often not enough to pay the rent—in exchange for not working and staying single? One thing that has become abundantly clear since 1996, which DeParle points out, is that a great many welfare recipients could indeed work. In reality, a sizable percentage of welfare recipients, including Angie and Jewell, two of

    Extractions: Welfare Reform Working Principles for Welfare Reform These principles, based on ELCA related social statements, were affirmed on March 11, 1994 by the Board of the Division for Church in Society, as the current basis for ELCA public policy advocacy related to welfare reform and for the purpose of ongoing deliberation in the ELCA. The current public welfare system is in need of significant reform. The purpose of these working principles is to clarify the bases for ELCA public policy advocacy regarding legislative proposals for reforming the welfare system, especially the federal Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program. Many of the principles are also applicable to welfare-related proposals at the state level. Poverty is the underlying problem welfare programs seek to alleviate. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (with its predecessor churches) has a long and extensive history of involvement in this area. The ELCA-affiliated net-work of social ministry organizations is financially the largest such on-profit network in the country. Many of these organizations have long histories of serving people in situations of poverty (presently serving over 300,000), including significant work in the area of refugee resettlement. The women's organization of the ELCA has taken initiatives to respond to people living in poverty in their communities through social service efforts (such as food programs and shelters), through pastoral care, and through advocacy and organizing efforts.

She remarks that, when one of her tenants, an immigrant from Taiwan whom we will call Wen, told her that he had just passed his citizenship test, "I was congratulating and welcoming him, but he laughed and said, 'Now they can't take my [welfare] money away.'" Wen's action was prompted by the welfare reform law passed by Congress last August, which limits access to various public assistance programs to legal immigrants who have not become naturalized citizens. Indeed, since the legislation was first introduced in November 1993, immigrants have been applying for naturalization in record numbers (the increase in applications is the result of a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the welfare reform proposal), even forcing the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to open new offices to meet the surge in demand. Immigrant advocacy groups have claimed that the citizenship test, and particularly the English requirement, are formidable barriers to naturalization for the elderly. But this has not been true in most cases, as the huge number of naturalizations by seniors in the last couple of years demonstrates. Moreover, the INS waives the English and civics testing requirements for certain seniors.

    http://www.house.gov/pryce/welfare.htm
    
    Extractions: For over thirty years, American tax dollars were spent on a welfare system that was initially established to fight the war on poverty, but instead contributed to a cycle of poverty. It contributed to weaker families instead of stronger ones. Six and a half years ago, 12 million people were dependent on government checks. In 1996, Congress passed the Welfare Reform Law, which I believe was one of the most significant government reforms of the last half century that helped address the needs of American families in a dramatic, successful way. This law created the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program (TANF). It emphasized personal responsibility, created work requirements, and provided greater state flexibility. At the national level, welfare dependency has plummeted. The number of individuals receiving cash assistance has dropped by 56 percent, from 12 million to 5 million. More single mothers are employed than ever before and nearly 3 million children have been lifted out of poverty. Both African-American child poverty rates and poverty among children in female-headed families are at their lowest levels in history. On February 13, 2003, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 4, the Personal Responsibility, Work and Family Promotion Act by a vote of 230 to 192. I am proud to have been the lead sponsor of this bill. This legislation is a culmination of strong reflection and cooperation among Members of Congress who care passionately about ensuring all Americans have the opportunity to live successful, productive lives.

    Extractions: Hot Issues Economy Veterans Healthcare ... Privacy In 1996, Congress passed sweeping legislation which transformed our welfare system. Under the new law, work was the centerpiece of our welfare system and states had broad flexibility to implement innovative new strategies to encourage and support work. The 1996 debate was very contentious, and President Clinton twice vetoed legislation that did not strike a balance between asking more of families on assistance and providing them with the work supports they needed (things like child care, transportation, and healthcare) to enter the workplace. The final legislation dramatically increased federal funding for child care and guaranteed people who left welfare for work at least a year of health insurance. I voted for it and it passed by a strong bipartisan margin. The 1996 law authorized the TANF program for six years. This year Congress must act to reauthorize the 1996 law. And while we’ve taken a great first step by dramatically increasing the number of people who are working, there’s still a lot to be done to make sure they get child care, health insurance, and other supports, and to make sure they earn enough to leave welfare behind forever. The links on this page will lead you to more information about what has happened since 1996 and my efforts to take the next step in welfare reform — one that will help hard-working parents move up the economic ladder and out of poverty. I have introduced several bill to build on our success.

    http://www.nationalhomeless.org/health.html
    
    Extractions: Published by the National Coalition for the Homeless, June 1999 Poor health is closely associated with homelessness. For families struggling to pay the rent, a serious illness or disability can start a downward spiral into homelessness, beginning with a lost job, depletion of savings to pay for care, and eventual eviction. Thirteen percent of homeless patients surveyed in a national study published in the 1980s stated that poor physical health was a factor in their becoming homeless. Of those patients, half said health was a "major factor" and 15% stated that it was the "single most important" factor (Wright and Weber, 1987). The problem has become much worse in the last decade, as the number of uninsured Americans continues to increase. In 1997, 43.4 million people in the United States lacked health insurance, and nearly one-third of persons living in poverty had no health insurance of any kind (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1998). The coverage held by many others would not carry them through a catastrophic illness. A recent analysis of Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) projects found that the number of uninsured persons seeking treatment is increasing: overall, HCH programs report a 35% increase in the numbers of patients who are uninsured (O'Connell, J., Lozier, J., and Gingles, K., 1997). The rates of both chronic and acute health problems are extremely high among the homeless population. With the exception of obesity, strokes, and cancer, homeless people are far more likely to suffer from every category of chronic health problem. Conditions which require regular, uninterrupted treatment, such as tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, hypertension, addictive disorders, and mental disorders, are extremely difficult to treat or control among those without adequate housing.

    http://www.ers.usda.gov/Amberwaves/june03/Features/RuralWelfareReforme.htm
    
    Extractions: Recent evidence suggests, however, that successful welfare reform outcomes may depend in part on where welfare recipients live. What has been the experience, for example, of the almost 8 million people living in poverty in rural America compared to central cities and suburban communities? In rural areas, employment is more concentrated in low-wage industries (see "Low-Skill Workers Are a Declining Share of All Rural Workers” ); unemployment and underemployment are greater; education levels are lower; and work support services, such as formal paid child care and public transportation, are less available. In these less favorable circumstances, how well has welfare reform worked in moving rural low-income adults into the workforce and out of poverty? With congressional reauthorization of welfare legislation scheduled for 2003, ERS addresses two questions to inform the policy debate surrounding reauthorization: What have we learned from empirical studies about rural-urban differences in welfare reform effects on program participation, employment, and poverty? Do rural and urban low-income families have different needs that might be reflected in the design of policies meant to provide assistance?
