Crunch time for Congress Members act on welfare, health care reform August 1, 1996 Web posted at: 11:30 p.m. EDT WASHINGTON (CNN) Pushing to pass legislation before members leave for a monthlong recess, Congress acted on a number of bills Thursday, including sending President Clinton a historic welfare reform bill. With a vote of 78 to 21, the Senate followed the House's lead and passed the final version of the compromise welfare bill. Clinton, who vetoed two previous versions, has pledged to sign it. The bill turns control of welfare over to the states; limits lifetime benefits to five years; requires adults to work after two years; and denies assistance to noncitizens, even those who are in the United States legally. Clinton considers the last provision extreme, along with the bill's food stamp cuts, and said he'll work to change them. Before the Senate voted, protesters from the group Housing Works, which helps AIDS-infected homeless people, stood up in the Senate chamber and shouted "Shame! Shame!"

6. Welfare Reform Threatens Access To Health Care welfare reform Threatens Access to health care. In 1996 the welfare reform law went into effect. http://www.users.qwest.net/~lbell5/outreach/welfare.htm

Welfare Reform Threatens Access to Health Care In 1996 the welfare reform law went into effect. Since then welfare rolls have dropped dramatically across the country and many look to this drop in the number of individuals on welfare as a success. There are many sides to this story however, and some serious unintented consequences as a result. As part of the welfare reform law, Congress realized that a vital part of assisting people in making the transition from welfare to work was to insure that they were still able to have access to health care coverage. To meet that goal, Congress "de-linked" the cash assistance part of welfare from Medicaid. Unfortunately despite this de-linking, hundreds of thousands of people as of 1997 lost health insurance as an unintended consequence of welfare reform. On May 13, 1999, Washington Citizen Action, along with the Children’s Alliance and the Welfare Rights Organizing Coalition released a national study compiled by Families USA entitled "Losing Health Insurance: the Unintended Consequences of Welfare Reform." Along with the national data, the groups released Washington State data, indicating that the problem is happening here in our state as well. In a July 1998 survey of Washington’s single parents who recently left welfare caseloads, the Department of Social and Health Services reported that only 57% of the children were receiving coverage through Medicaid, and only 36% of the adults.

Findings from this literature review underscore the importance of starting interventions early, taking a two-generation approach, and the role of income support strategies to make women less vulnerable to abuse. (Posted April 2002) Welfare Reform and Children Fifty leading U.S. scholars, including Dr. Lawrence Aber, sent a statement to members of Congress on the effects of welfare reform on low-income children. The approach embodied in the recently passed House plan proposes new work participation requirements but provides no significant increase in the work or child care supports needed. Such an approach is more likely to harm children than to help them. Research has identified successful approaches that not only reduce welfare dependency, but also increase employment, improve family incomes and enhance children's development.

About the Center Media Resources Newsletters Child Poverty Facts ... NCCP Jobs How Welfare Reform Can Help or Hurt Children (PDF version of the Full Text) INTRODUCTION Recent federal welfare legislation, P.L. 104-193, The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, can have a major impact on the health and development of young children living in poverty. Changes now being implemented in welfare policies and programs take many forms, but most of them have one thing in commonthey are almost all driven by adult-focused goals. However, two-thirds of recipients of cash assistance are not adults, they are children. While policymakers and program directors often recognize this fact, there is very little information available to them about how to protect children and enhance their growth and development within the context of welfare reform. THREE PATHWAYS BY WHICH CHANGES IN WELFARE CAN AFFECT CHILDREN'S GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT A body of research on children and poverty provides a helpful framework to understand how welfare changes can affect children. State and federal welfare changes have the potential to help or hurt children in three major ways, all of which are somewhat interrelated: By Changing Family Income Welfare changes that leave families in poverty are unlikely to change children's prospects. Reforms that cause deeper and more persistent poverty will negatively affect children's growth and development. It seems likely that only welfare reform efforts that substantially increase the incomes of families on TANF will lead to better developmental outcomes for children.

12. Health Care Providers Brace For Welfare Reform Impact health care providers brace for welfare reform impact By BETH HALLMARK / Abilene ReporterNews http://texnews.com/ads97/Health%20Care%2097/welfare.html

Health care providers brace for welfare reform impact By BETH HALLMARK / Abilene Reporter-News As sweeping reform begins to move welfare recipients off welfare and into work, health care providers are trying to prepare for the effects the changes will have on their industry. Though local providers agree it is too early to fully diagnose the impact, they expect the next few years will expose the challenges wrought by welfare reform. "It's all educated conjecture at this point," said Chris Robinson, Abilene Regional Medical Center's regional health services administrator. "But there is a strong suspicion that the medically uninsured population will grow." Though welfare reform provisions added time limits and work requirements to programs such as food stamps and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF formerly Aid to Families with Dependent Children), Medicaid has remained largely intact and expanded in many states. Provisions of this year's Balanced Budget Act also extended Medicaid to children losing Supplemental Security Income due to more stringent disability classifications and to legal immigrants already enrolled in the program. And under current policy, income-eligible welfare recipients going back to work can receive a year of transitional Medicaid benefits.

Thompson Secretary of Health and Human Services U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Thompson has dedicated his professional life to public service, most recently serving as governor of Wisconsin since 1987. Secretary Thompson made state history when he was re-elected to office for a third term in 1994 and a fourth term in 1998. In 1996, Secretary Thompson enacted Wisconsin Works, or "W-2," the state’s landmark welfare-to-work legislation, which served as a national model for welfare reform. The program required participants to work, while at the same time providing the services and support to make the transition to work feasible and permanent. W-2 provided a safety net through child care, health care, transportation and training assistance. Wisconsin’s monthly welfare caseload declined by more than 90 percent, while the economic status of those taking part in W-2 improved. The average family on AFDC had been 30 percent below the federal poverty line. However, at the average wage of people leaving W-2, families were 30 percent above the poverty line.
