Home Page Six Years After Welfare Reform, Public Opposition to Welfare Spending Declines By James Devitt When the U.S. Congress passed landmark welfare reform legislation in 1996, elected officials had the support of the public to back them. Six years later, Congress is debating whether to reauthorize the legislation, officially titled Temporary Assistance to Need Families (TANF). However, Americans have become less opposed to welfare benefits since the law was first enacted, according to an analysis by Columbia Political Science Department Chair Robert Shapiro and Greg Shaw, Ph.D. '98, a professor at Illinois Wesleyan University. The research was conducted at Columbia's Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy (ISERP), an interdisciplinary research organization for the social sciences and public policy. Analyzing poll results from several sources, including Gallup, the New York Times/CBS News and the Wall Street Journal/NBC, Shapiro and Shaw noted that in December 1994 57 percent of respondents thought that "most people who receive money from welfare could get along without it if they tried." But by January 2001 this percentage had slipped to 44 percent. Conversely, in December 1994 only 36 percent of respondents felt recipients "really need this help," but by January 2001, 47 percent held this view. Shapiro and Shaw also note that according to a survey by the National Election Studies that between 1996 and 2000, the percentage of Americans in favor of cutting federal spending on food stamps fell from 45 percent to 30 percent.

http://aspe.hhs.gov/aspehistory.htm

Extractions: Office of the Assistant Secretary for P LANNING and E VALUATION By Gerald Britten, formerly Deputy Assistant Secretary for Program Systems For more than a third of a century, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) has provided policy advice and analysis for the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Health, Education, and Welfare HEW until 1979). It has focused on issues of importance particularly to the Secretary, the administration, and the Congress. The office strives to maintain a reputation for high quality and objective analysis concerning a wide range of health and human service issues, and for having an experienced and first rate analytic staff. Many ASPE staff have moved on to senior positions in government, academia, and industry. The office was established in 1965 in the Office of the Secretary of HEW as the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Program Coordination. It was based on the "systems analysis" model of the Department of Defense following President Johnson's call for a government-wide introduction this model, which emphasized a central planning staff independent of program functions, objective analysis based on research, and the utilization of various systems analysis tools, such as multi-year plans and budgets. The new office in HEW had approximately 20 analysts for health, education, and welfare issues, and an office to help administer a program planning and budgeting system. In the words of Alice Rivlin, an early Assistant Secretary, the creation of ASPE brought into the Secretary's office a group of people who were trained to think analytically and whose job it was to improve the process of decision making.

Welfare Costs And Caseloads

http://www.mathematica-mpr.com/3rdLevel/caseloads.htm

Extractions: Federal welfare reform gave states new freedom as well as new challenges. To balance these factors and design an effective program, a state must be able to predict how proposed reforms will affect costs and caseloads. Mathematica Policy Research offers a fast and inexpensive tool, the MATH microsimulation model , for making these predictions. MATH, initially used to estimate how changes in AFDC, food stamps, and SSI would affect federal costs and caseloads, can also help states simulate programs under TANF, including the impact of time limits on costs and caseloads. Estimating Costs and Caseloads Forecasting Costs and Caseloads Estimating Costs and Caseloads For more than two decades, we have estimated the impact on costs and caseloads of hundreds of different program and policy options for AFDC and food stamps. These estimates have proved useful and effective for policymakers; in fact, federal legislative provisions have been based directly on MATH model results.

Extractions: The nonpartisan Urban Institute publishes studies, reports, and books on timely topics worthy of public consideration. 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:

Extractions: January 1998 For Media Assistance Media Coverage of Welfare Reform Misses the Target: Kids Hollywood, CA: The nation's major newspapers and magazines have overlooked the largest population affected by welfare reform: children. Welfare reform dominated the news across the nation in 1996 and 1997 when Congress and the states debated how to craft and implement reform. However, children, who comprise 69% of all welfare recipients, were the primary focus in just 6% of the welfare reform news stories. The news content analysis commissioned by Children Now, a national child policy and advocacy organization, and conducted by Dr. Katharine Heintz-Knowles of the University of Washington, examined the content of the following national news sources during June-August 1996 and June-August 1997: The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, Time, Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report.

Extractions: Reporting Requirements States are required by statute ( Social Security Act , Title IV-A, Section 411 ) to report on: States are also required ( Social Security Act , Title IV-A, Section 409 ) to share in the costs of the TANF program. A statutory maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement calls for the expenditure of State funds on the program to remain at certain historic levels. The Department of Health and Human Services has developed a financial data reporting form (Form ACF-196), which States are required to submit no later than 45 days after the end of each quarter. States are also required by statute to report programmatic data such as caseload numbers and caseload demographics We will provide separate summaries of TANF programmatic data as the data becomes available.
Adolescent Outcomes, Poverty Status, And Welfare Reform: An Analysis Based On Th
Help! Adolescent Outcomes, Poverty Status, and welfare reform AnAnalysis based on the Survey of Program Dynamics. Author info
http://ideas.repec.org/p/wop/jopovw/269.html

Extractions: In the early stages of research on the impact of welfare reform, most research focused on caseload reduction, employment outcomes, and barriers to employment. Even in research that examined the impact of welfare reform on children, the emphases centered on infants, preschoolers, and children at the grade school level. Issues concerning the impact on children in middle childhood and early adolescence were not considered a crucial area for research (Brooks, Hair, and Zaslow, 2001). We argue below, however, that children in late middle childhood and early adolescence are likely to face significant challenges in the wake of welfare reform. Our arguments are based on the premise that adolescence is a developmental epoch characterized by rapid physical, intellectual, and socioemotional growth and change, which is frequently accompanied by turbulence, perplexity, and confusion. Hence this research was undertaken specifically to examine potential effects of welfare reform on children in late childhood through adolescence. The research described below uses the Survey of Program Dynamics to examine the links between outcomes for adolescents, source of income, mother?s employment, and welfare reform. Specifically, the research examines how poverty status and family welfare receipt during middle childhood interact with current poverty status and welfare receipt during adolescence to influence a range of outcomes for adolescents. The outcomes that are examined include both parent reports and the set of indicators that are available in the 1998 adolescent self-administered questionnaire.
