Carter outlines new welfare plan to reward work
President Carter proposes a sweeping welfare overhaul that would replace current programs with two groups. The nonworking poor would receive cash supports up to about 4200 dollars per year for a family of four, potentially plus state supplements, while working or jobless poor would get earned income supplements. Health Secretary Califano says the plan is still tentative and under discussion with governors and Congress.
