Pennsylvania Public Welfare Reform Bill Aims for $15.1 Million Boost
The House introduces a five reform package to simplify aid, tighten eligibility, and require employment or training for able bodied adults. It would shift to flat grants, add special allowances, verify Social Security numbers, and fund public projects. An extra $15.1 million would cover clothing utilities rent and incidentals, with expected $75 million annual savings long term. The measure mirrors California reforms and faces funding differences with Shapp administration estimates. The article notes a pornography bill passing and Edinboro College Band performance in the rotunda.
