Carter welfare plan would reward workers
President Carter outlines a welfare reform aiming to match current federal benefits while offering incentives for employment. The plan, to be presented to Congress before the August recess, would begin with no net increase in current spending and could expand later if needed. California officials describe a two tier system: working poor receive wage supplements, nonworking groups such as the elderly disabled and single parents would get a monthly cash grant, potentially up to 4200 dollars for a family of four, with food stamps phased out.
