Utah workfare program aims to make welfare recipients work
The United States moves toward mandatory work requirements for AFDC in Utah. Recipients must work three days weekly, for pay and a $25 weekly training allowance, or serve in public agencies. About half leave relief rolls in six months as they gain employment. Public support cites cost and incentive to leave welfare. Critics call legality and low wages concerns. Senator Moroni Jensen champions the plan as the model for other states.
