The National Jobs for All Coalition is dedicated to the propositions that meaningful employment is a precondition for a fulfilling life and that every person capable of working should have the right to a job. The Coalition not only fights to make these propositions facts of life, but it publishes invaluable research by noted scholars to support them. It regularly produces short, readable articles and pamphlets on such subjects as the phony Social Security crisis, the moderate costs of a full-employment program, the importance of labor unions, and the undercounting of the unemployed.

Fact Sheet Administration for Children and Families September 1996 Contact: HHS Press Office (202) 690-6343 The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 On August 22, President Clinton signed into law "The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193)," a comprehensive bipartisan welfare reform plan that will dramatically change the nation's welfare system into one that requires work in exchange for time-limited assistance. The law contains strong work requirements, a performance bonus to reward states for moving welfare recipients into jobs, state maintenance of effort requirements, comprehensive child support enforcement, and supports for families moving from welfare to work including increased funding for child care and guaranteed medical coverage. Highlights of "The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996" follow. Making Welfare a Transistion to Work o Work requirements. Under the new law, recipients must work after two years on assistance, with few exceptions. Twenty-five percent of all families in each state must be engaged in work activities or have left the rolls in fiscal year (FY) 1997, rising to 50 percent in FY 2002. Single parents must participate for at least 20 hours per week the first year, increasing to at least 30 hours per week by FY 2000. Two-parent families must work 35 hours per week by July 1, 1997.
