New Welfare Rules Tighten Public Aid Eligibility
Public complaints about welfare spurred new state directives on eligibility in Pennsylvania. Applicants must provide documented income, rent, taxes and savings plus need proof. Case reviews occur every three months. Erie County implements the changes gradually amid high risk case screening and enforcement challenges. Court orders and non support issues complicate enforcement, with legal services aiding mothers but lacking full ability to pursue support. More husband support reduces taxpayer burden, while overwork and jurisdictional limits hinder full implementation.
