New applicants will receive cash grants for the first 60 days on welfare, while they conduct job searches. Subsidized minimum-wage community service jobs will be provided for recipients who cannot find work until they find paid employment. These recipients will be expected to perform community service for 25 hours per week and carry out a job search for 15 hours per week, while receiving day care for their children. Able-bodied recipients who refuse to do any work or community service will lose cash assistance, but they will still receive food stamps, housing, and health care for their children. Four experts on the plan provide comments. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
