State officials warn welfare rules hurt work incentives
State welfare administrators at a conference with APWA and Illinois Public Welfare Association warned that new Reagan administration rules will erase work incentives and raise costs for state and federal governments. They cited a four month earned income protection and a $150 monthly day care cap as reducing motivation to work and increasing expenses for families on AFDC. Dorcas Hardy disputed, saying reductions would boost incentives to obtain steady employment.
