TIGHTENING THE WELFARE TRAMPOLINE February 11, 1997 TRANSCRIPT According to California Governor Pete Wilson "Any legal job is better than subsidized idleness." Jeffrey Kaye looks at Wilson's committment to reform welfare. JEFFREY KAYE: Like governors around the country when California’s Pete Wilson delivered his annual state of the state speech this year, he renewed his commitment to carry out the federal welfare reform law. That law requires able-bodied welfare recipients to find work. GOV. PETE WILSON, (R) California: Any legal job is better than subsidized idleness. Any legal job is an acceptable means for entering the work force. There’s a lot more dignity in any minimum wage job than in sitting on a couch collecting welfare. JEFFREY KAYE: The governor proposed a welfare-to-work plan stiffer than federal requirements. While the federal law puts a five-year cap on welfare, California officials want a two-year limit. Wilson’s top welfare officials, Sandra Smoley and Eloise Anderson, have been on a campaign to sell the plan. To take effect, the program must be adopted by the legislature. JEFFREY KAYE: The California officials are holding meetings with local representatives and opinion leaders around the state.

Home Justice and Peace Welfare : Resource Summary of General Synod statements related to welfare The 22nd General Synod of the United Church of Christ meeting in 1999 passed a resolution titled "Redressing the Effects of 1996 Welfare Legislation." It included a theological foundations section quoted below. Jesus taught that the two most important commandments were, first, to "love the Lord our God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind," and second, that "you love your neighbor as you love yourself." (Matthew 22.37-39) The prayer of our savior still asks for each "day our daily bread." The tradition of the prophets (Micah 3.2-3; Sirach 34.25-27, Apocrypha) likens depriving persons of an adequate wage to murder. Christ still comes to us in "the least of these" who are hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, sick and in prison. (Matthew 25.3-1-46) The New Testament (1 John 3:17) asks how the love of God can abide in the hearts of persons who withhold help from persons in need.) In evaluating the early results of the passage of the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program as part of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, the 22nd General Synod noted the problem of moving from TANF into poverty and the related problems of child care and health care, of transportation and hunger and homelessness. This led the 22nd General Synod to make the following policy recommendations to oppose all governmental restrictions and conditions that oppress beneficiaries of TANF and to assist low-income families with one or more employed persons in the following ways:

A New Paradigm for Welfare Reform: The Need for Civil Rights Enforcement A Statement by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights August 2002 Passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) in 1996 was intended to drastically transform public assistance in the United States. With it, a new emphasis was established to move public assistance recipients from welfare to work. While a laudable goal, rather than engaging recipients in productive activities that lead to self-sufficiency, the reform instituted tough requirements and restrictions on eligibility (including time limits, work requirements, and participation rates). The law gave states discretion to structure programs, as long as they met basic requirements, and impelled them to enforce strict sanctions. The Commission found that the proposals before Congress not only ignore some of the negative outcomes of the 1996 reform, but potentially compound the disparate impact of the 1996 law. Without civil rights protections in the legislation, welfare reform cannot lift all Americans out of poverty. Based on its own review and numerous studies, the Commission encourages Congress to promote policies that will alleviate the disparities and advance the objectives of reform. The Commission’s recommendations are offered in three categories: (1) those that will facilitate the enforcement of civil rights laws, (2) those that will safeguard against discriminatory treatment, and (3) those that will prevent future disparate impact.

Back to Newsroom Vol. 5, No. 3 (2003) How Are Children Affected by Employment and Welfare Transitions? By P. Lindsay Chase-Lansdale, Robert A. Moffitt, Brenda J. Lohman, Andrew J. Cherlin, Rebekah Levine Coley, Laura D. Pittman, Jennifer Roff, and Elizabeth Votruba-Drzal* How children are affected by the employment and welfare transitions occurring in the wake of welfare reform is an important issue for policy. In the debate surrounding the 1996 welfare legislation, fears were expressed that children of mothers who were required to work may be harmed because of a decline in time spent with children and an increase in parental stress. However, others argued that children would benefit because mothers who worked and were off welfare would increase their income and would have a more structured home life as well as be a better role model for their children. To date, the evidence on this issue is quite mixed. Recent nonexperimental evidence is sparse and contradictory. However, there is some evidence from experimental trials of several welfare-to-work reforms suggesting that elementary school children have higher levels of school achievement and less problem behavior but that adolescents experience poorer performance in school when mothers make the transition from welfare to work.

Article #1 Article #2 Article #3 Article #4 Conferences Working Papers State Update New panel study will track impact of welfare reform on Illinois families orthwestern university Professor Dan Lewis, along with colleagues from Northern Illinois University and the University of Illinois at Chicago, have responded to the Illinois General Assembly's call for information on welfare reform to be collected by independently-funded university researchers. Lewis, NIU's Paul Kleppner and UIC's Stephanie Riger formed the University Consortium on Welfare Reform, which has been selected by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) to annually report to the General Assembly on what is happening to Illinois families and children who receive, or have received, Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) benefits under Illinois' approach to welfare reform. The project plans to track 3,000 adult recipients of TANF from July 1998 through June 2004 regardless of whether they stay on aid or not. The data collection efforts will focus on merging Illinois state administrative data with survey data the consortium will collect annually. According to Lewis, an affiliate of the Poverty Research Center, this project differs from evaluations being done in other states and locales in its longitudinal structure, the involvement of IDHS and other Illinois agencies in providing administrative data, and its six-year length. Northwestern University will be responsible for the overall administration of the project, which will be situated with the Joint Center for Poverty Research under Lewis' direction.

54. Jumping To Conclusions: The General Welfare The general welfare. As the NY Times reports, Despite the Sluggish Economy, To call welfare reform a striking public policy success would overstate http://www.oobleck.com/tollbooth/archives/001775.html

Thoughts, comments, musings on life, politics, current events and the media. Main Wednesday, March 24, 2004 The General Welfare As the NY Times reports, "Despite the Sluggish Economy, Welfare Rolls Actually Shrank" After Congress overhauled the nation's welfare system in 1996, the number of families receiving benefits dropped much faster than federal and state officials had expected. Even more remarkable, officials say, the rolls did not grow during the recession of 2001 or the sluggish economy since. In fact, in the last three years, the number of families on welfare has declined slightly, to two million, which is less than half the number receiving public assistance when President Bill Clinton signed the welfare law in August 1996. Experts suggest many reasons. People work harder to find jobs before seeking public assistance. Welfare recipients have learned job skills and a work ethic. States provide child care and other noncash help so they can keep jobs after leaving welfare. And, some experts say, new rules and requirements may intimidate poor people from seeking welfare. The article does imply overall that it is a good thing that fewer people are on welfare (imagine that), but of course there are the obligatory quotes from those who don't agree:

The Post and Courier (Charleston, SC) Pride in welfare reform August 3, 2001 Five years ago, warnings abounded that welfare reform would victimize millions of Americans. Yet today, statistics make an over-whelming case that welfare reform has elevated millions of Americans by liberating them from what had been a seemingly relentless cycle of dependency. President Clinton, after twice vetoing welfare reform, reluctantly signed the historic bill in August 1996, even as he lamented what he called its "serious flaws." If only all federal legislation were so flawed. The number of U.S. families on welfare declined by 50 percent from August 1996 to September 2000the last official compilation of those declining rolls. The percentage of Americans on welfare dropped to 2.1 percentthe lowest level in nearly four decades. Welfare reform didn't merely ride the healthy economyit contributed to it by helping sustain historically low unemployment numbers. The Manhattan Institute, in a study released last week, concluded that welfare reform accounts for 60 percent of the increase in employment among single mothersand that the economic boom contributed only 20 percent.

References Purpose of Presentation: The intent of this think piece is (1) to capture the logic and scholarly findings for public and private sector support of nutrition programs in general and nutrition education programs specifically and (2) to build the case for nutrition education as a strategy in welfare reform. This version is intended for use by those engaged in state and local public policy as they wrestle with accommodating the new federal legislation of l996, which changed government assistance programs, specifically food stamps and Aid to Families with Dependent Children. The logic could be used by institutions seeking support in their states and localities. It could be used at the federal level in coming years when nutrition programs are again re-examined. Food stamps were only reauthorized for two years in l996. Thus, in l998, the case will again need to be made. This presentation could be used as part of that case. From Welfare to Well-being I've suggested that with the historic shift in welfare legislation, the opportunity arose for a more comprehensive examination of the well-being of individuals, families, communities and our nation.

The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Research Publications Economists Research Centers Conferences ... Economic Data FRBSF Economic Letter 96-37; December 20, 1996 Effects of Welfare Reform on Western States Major provisions of the new law Factors affecting relative impact Potential near-term effects on California state and local government finances Potential near-term impact in other District states ... Conclusions The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 provides a new framework for welfare in the United States. The act ends the 61-year federal entitlement to public assistance for needy individuals and further shifts control over public assistance distribution and benefit levels from the federal to the state governments. The pros and cons of the devolution of federal control to the states are widely debated, and it will be many years before the long-run effects on efficiency and coverage of welfare systems can be known. However, in the near term, states must prepare for their new role. This Economic Letter discusses the potential near-term impact of the reforms on state and local government finances in the western states of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District and suggests that the new law is likely to have a noticeable near-term impact on finances in some California local governments, but a much smaller near-term fiscal impact on governments in other District states.

Return Home Housing Policy and Welfare Reform by Robert Rector Testimony Testimony before The Subcommittee on Housing and Transportation of the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Introduction Before I begin, let me first thank the committee for the opportunity to speak before you today. While I serve as Senior Research Fellow on Welfare and Family Issues at The Heritage Foundation, I must stress that the views I express are entirely my own, and should not be construed as representing the position of The Heritage Foundation. The traditional War on Poverty was launched in the mid-1960's. War on Poverty programs (cash, food, and housing) focused on providing material support and largely ignored the behavioral causes behind poverty. The welfare reform of 1996 recognized that this old style welfare system had failed. The reform changed the nature of cash aid: in the future welfare would continue to provide material support but it would also seek to transform behavior in a positive way. To understand the lessons of welfare reform for assisted housing programs, six points are critical:

site map help contact us The Heritage Foundation ... Welfare Successful Welfare Reform Requires Flexibility on the Minimum Wage Policy Archive: view by date Policy Archive: view by issue ... Return Home Successful Welfare Reform Requires State Flexibility on the Minimum Wage by D. Mark Wilson Executive Memorandum #625 Welfare reform, which has dramatically reduced the number of people receiving public assistance, has altered the debate over the national entry-level minimum wage. The states already face an enormous challenge in increasing the workforce participation rate of their families on welfare. Their challenges will become even more daunting as federal workforce participation requirements increase and the welfare caseload shrinks to Americans with the least job-related skills. As recent economic research by Kevin Lang of Boston University and David Neumark of Michigan State University demonstrates, higher mandated wages reduce employment opportunities for the least skilled and cause shifts in the profile of those who get hired as employers favor more highly skilled applicants. And as entry-level unskilled job opportunities disappear, welfare recipients have a more difficult time finding work. To move forward with welfare reform, state officials should have the flexibility to determine the appropriate entry-level wage level for their states without a burdensome federal mandate that restricts their ability to help the poor. Should Congress decide to consider another increase in the federally mandated minimum wage, it would do so in a completely different policy environment. The enormous flexibility that federal welfare reform gave the states in finding innovative ways to move recipients off the rolls and into work proved that the states understand what their welfare populations need. Congress should adopt a similar perspective with regard to federal mandates on entry-level wages.
