States May Regret Block Grants In Welfare Shift
Washington analysis notes the House approval of a block grant welfare plan marks a major shift after 60 years of policy. It limits federal cash aid to five years, bars aid to noncitizen immigrants, and gives states wide discretion, raising questions on federal versus state responsibility and the ability to move recipients from welfare to work. Experts warn revenue and administration must grow if reforms succeed, citing Wisconsin’s welfare-to-work program and debates among Nixon era decentralization trends.
