Welfare reform Part I The Work Requirement
The new Pennsylvania welfare reform law signed by Gov. Milton J. Shapp imposes a work registration duty on most public assistance recipients through the State Bureau of Employment Security. It bars aid for noncompliance or refusal of bona fide job offers, restricts eligibility for quitting a job to seek aid, and allows deductions for work expenses. The act also funds demonstration projects, creates employment officers, and tightens eligibility reviews every six months. It expands wage garnishment for state employees, increases the statute of limitations for welfare fraud, and strengthens recovery of overpayments and regulation of lost or stolen checks.
