KanWork program trains welfare recipients in Kansas
State welfare chief Donna Whiteman told lawmakers that KanWork a workfare program has put about 5 800 welfare recipients to work through training but at lower wages than hoped and with limited benefits. She noted participants lag in education and social skills, and the program faces criticism for cost versus savings. Initiated with 5 million dollars in 1988, four pilots now span 11 counties with plans for nine more by October.
