From the supplier: The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 was intended to reform the welfare system, but it also serves to limit Medicaid eligibility for poor or disabled children. Some children will lose Supplemental Security Income eligibility as the disability definition is revised. Medicaid eligibility will be linked to income and resource standards rather than cash assistance. The law also restricts benefits to legal immigrants.

Product Description
The Brookings Institution's Welfare Reform and Beyond Initiative was created to inform the critical policy debates surrounding the upcoming congressional reauthorization of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programme and a number of related programmes that were created or dramatically altered by the landmark 1996 welfare reform legislation. The goal of the project has been to take the large volume of existing and forthcoming research studies and shape them into a more coherent and policy-orientated whole. This collection gathers 20 essays, published between January 2001 and February 2002, that assess the record of welfare reform. They focus on issues likely to be debated before the TANF reauthorization, as well as a broader set of policy options for low-income families. ... Read more

Product Description
The welfare system in the United States underwent profound changes as a result of the groundbreaking welfare legislation passed in 1996 entitled The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act (PRWORA). "The Political Economy of Welfare Reform in the United States" examines in detail the legislative process that gave rise to PRWORA and presents two alternative theories to explain this process; the traditional public interest model of government and the public choice model. On the basis of a detailed historical analysis of welfare programs and policies in the US, the author explains the two alternative theories and engages in a detailed institutional and statistical analysis to make a convincing argument for the validity of the public choice paradigm. Mary Reintsma's book reveals how the outcome of any legislation is highly dependent on the input of interest groups and the interactions of such groups with those responsible for passing the legislation. "The Political Economy of Welfare Reform in the United States" will appeal to academics and researchers involved in public sector economics, public choice theory and welfare economics reform. ...
