PRESIDENT CLINTON SAYS EDUCATION KEY TO AMERICA'S FUTURE
Vows to Fight GOP Cuts in Education and Protect Investment in Alaska's Families
"Cutting education in the time of global economic competition would be like cutting
defense spending during the Cold War. President Clinton, March 14, 1995
Education and training are cornerstones of President Clinton's economic policy, designed to
expand opportunities for all Americans. Now, more than ever, opportunity in the global economy
depends on skills and education. Yet Republicans plan significant cuts in the very educational
programs that help working families. Here is what that means to Alaska:
STUDENT LOANS President Clinton supports student loans and opposes Republican
efforts to make them more expensive. Republicans want to help pay for their tax cuts for
the wealthy by eliminating a grace period that allows 4.5 million students to defer interest
charges while still in school. President Clinton will fight to stop Republicans from raising
the costs of college and job training for 3,034 students in Alaska. The Department of
Education estimates that ending this grace period would mean that a student who borrows
$17,125 over four years would owe $3,150 more, and have his or her monthly repayment
amount increased by more than 18%.
DIRECT LENDING The President wants to expand his Direct Lending program which
simplifies the application process, reduces fees for students, and offers borrowers
convenient repayment options, including pay-as-you-can. Direct Lending is saving
taxpayers $6.8 billion in administrative expenses. The President opposes Republican
efforts to help banks by capping participation in Direct Lending and preventing thousands
of schools and millions of students from receiving its benefits. In the 1995-96 school
year, 0 schools in Alaska will participate in direct lending. The Republican proposal
would prevent any further schools from entering the program.
MAKING COLLEGE AFFORDABLE President Clinton wants to offer a tax deduction
of up to $10,000 to help middle-class Americans meet the cost of education and job
training. Families in Alaska would receive approximately $54 million from this deduction
over the next five years. The President opposes Republican efforts to cut education to pay
for tax breaks for the wealthy.
NATIONAL SERVICE AmeriCorps, President Clinton's service program, offers young
people a hand paying for their education if they give a hand to their community. The
President opposes Republican efforts to gut AmeriCorps and prevent 150 students in
Alaska from serving their communities.
GOALS 2000 The President won passage of Goals 2000 to help states and local
communities train teachers and upgrade standards for their schools. Republicans call for a
40% cut in the program that would reduce support for high standards by $606,601 in as
many as 17 schools in Alaska.
SAFE AND DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS President Clinton recognizes that safety in school
is a major concern of parents, students, and teachers. Republicans want to gut a program
- that 53 out of 56 school districts in Alaska have already implemented - that teaches
students to avoid drugs and violence, and enables schools to purchase metal detectors and
hire security personnel.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The President believes strongly in the federal role
in education. Republicans want to abolish the Department of Education.

expand opportunities for all Americans. Now, more than ever, opportunity in the global economy
depends on skills and education. Yet Republicans plan significant cuts in the very educational
programs that help working families. Here is what that means to Georgia:
STUDENT LOANS President Clinton supports student loans and opposes Republican
efforts to make them more expensive. Republicans want to help pay for their tax cuts for
the wealthy by eliminating a grace period that allows 4.5 million students to defer interest
charges while still in school. President Clinton will fight to stop Republicans from raising
the costs of college and job training for 102,576 students in Georgia. The Department of
Education estimates that ending this grace period would mean that a student who borrows
$17,125 over four years would owe $3,150 more, and have his or her monthly repayment
amount increased by more than 18%.
DIRECT LENDING The President wants to expand his Direct Lending program which
simplifies the application process, reduces fees for students, and offers borrowers
convenient repayment options, including pay-as-you-can. Direct Lending is saving
taxpayers $6.8 billion in administrative expenses. The President opposes Republican
efforts to help banks by capping participation in Direct Lending and preventing thousands
of schools and millions of students from receiving its benefits. In the 1995-96 school
year, 42 schools in Georgia will participate in direct lending. The Republican proposal
would prevent any further schools from entering the program.
MAKING COLLEGE AFFORDABLE President Clinton wants to offer a tax deduction
of up to $10,000 to help middle-class Americans meet the cost of education and job
training. Families in Georgia would receive approximately $565 million from this
deduction over the next five years. The President opposes Republican efforts to cut
education to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy.
NATIONAL SERVICE AmeriCorps, President Clinton's service program, offers young
people a hand paying for their education if they give a hand to their community. The
President opposes Republican efforts to gut AmeriCorps and prevent 822 students in
Georgia from serving their communities.
GOALS 2000 The President won passage of Goals 2000 to help states and local
communities train teachers and upgrade standards for their schools. Republicans call for a
40% cut in the program that would reduce support for high standards by $3,469,757 in as
many as 99 schools in Georgia.
SAFE AND DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS President Clinton recognizes that safety in school
is a major concern of parents, students, and teachers. Republicans want to gut a program
- that 172 out of 183 school districts in Georgia have already implemented that teaches
students to avoid drugs and violence, and enables schools to purchase metal detectors and
hire security personnel.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The President believes strongly in the federal role
in education. Republicans want to abolish the Department of Education.

PRESIDENT CLINTON SAYS EDUCATION KEY TO AMERICA'S FUTURE
Vows to Fight GOP Cuts in Education and Protect Investment in Maine's Families
"Cutting education in the time of global economic competition would be like cutting
defense spending during the Cold War. President Clinton, March 14, 1995
Education and training are cornerstones of President Clinton's economic policy, designed to
expand opportunities for all Americans. Now, more than ever, opportunity in the global economy
depends on skills and education. Yet Republicans plan significant cuts in the very educational
programs that help working families. Here is what that means to Maine:
STUDENT LOANS President Clinton supports student loans and opposes Republican
efforts to make them more expensive. Republicans want to help pay for their tax cuts for
the wealthy by eliminating a grace period that allows 4.5 million students to defer interest
charges while still in school. President Clinton will fight to stop Republicans from raising
the costs of college and job training for 20,055 students in Maine. The Department of
Education estimates that ending this grace period would mean that a student who borrows
$17,125 over four years would owe $3,150 more, and have his or her monthly repayment
amount increased by more than 18%.
DIRECT LENDING The President wants to expand his Direct Lending program which
simplifies the application process, reduces fees for students, and offers borrowers
convenient repayment options, including pay-as-you-can. Direct Lending is saving
taxpayers $6.8 billion in administrative expenses. The President opposes Republican
efforts to help banks by capping participation in Direct Lending and preventing thousands
of schools and millions of students from receiving its benefits. In the 1995-96 school
year, 7 schools in Maine will participate in direct lending. The Republican proposal
would prevent any further schools from entering the program.
MAKING COLLEGE AFFORDABLE President Clinton wants to offer a tax deduction
of up to $10,000 to help middle-class Americans meet the cost of education and job
training. Families in Maine would receive approximately $109 million from this
deduction over the next five years. The President opposes Republican efforts to cut
education to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy.
NATIONAL SERVICE AmeriCorps, President Clinton's service program, offers young
people a hand paying for their education if they give a hand to their community. The
President opposes Republican efforts to gut AmeriCorps and prevent 127 students in
Maine from serving their communities.
GOALS 2000 The President won passage of Goals 2000 to help states and local
communities train teachers and upgrade standards for their schools. Republicans call for a
40% cut in the program that would reduce support for high standards by $645,930 in as
many as 18 schools in Maine.
SAFE AND DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS President Clinton recognizes that safety in school
is a major concern of parents, students, and teachers. Republicans want to gut a program

students to avoid drugs and violence, and enables schools to purchase metal detectors and

the wealthy by eliminating a grace period that allows 4.5 million students to defer intèrest
charges while still in school. President Clinton will fight to stop Republicans from raising
the costs of college and job training for 89,816 students in New Jersey. The Department
of Education estimates that ending this grace period would mean that a student who
borrows $17,125 over four years would owe $3,150 more, and have his or her monthly
repayment amount increased by more than 18%.
DIRECT LENDING The President wants to expand his Direct Lending program which
simplifies the application process, reduces fees for students, and offers borrowers
convenient repayment options, including pay-as-you-can. Direct Lending is saving
taxpayers $6.8 billion in administrative expenses. The President opposes Republican
efforts to help banks by capping participation in Direct Lending and preventing thousands
of schools and millions of students from receiving its benefits. In the 1995-96 school
year, 49 schools in New Jersey will participate in direct lending. The Republican proposal
would prevent any further schools from entering the program.
MAKING COLLEGE AFFORDABLE President Clinton wants to offer a tax deduction
of up to $10,000 to help middle-class Americans meet the cost of education and job
training. Families in New Jersey would receive approximately $936 million from this
deduction over the next five years. The President opposes Republican efforts to cut
education to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy.
NATIONAL SERVICE AmeriCorps, President Clinton's service program, offers young
people a hand paying for their education if they give a hand to their community. The
President opposes Republican efforts to gut AmeriCorps and prevent 1,445 students in
New Jersey from serving their communities.
GOALS 2000 The President won passage of Goals 2000 to help states and local
communities train teachers and upgrade standards for their schools. Republicans call for a
40% cut in the program that would reduce support for high standards by $3,423,052 in as
many as 98 schools in New Jersey.
SAFE AND DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS President Clinton recognizes that safety in school
is a major concern of parents, students, and teachers. Republicans want to gut a program
- that 572 out of 608 school districts in New Jersey have already implemented - that
teaches students to avoid drugs and violence, and enables schools to purchase metal
detectors and hire security personnel.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The President believes strongly in the federal role
in education. Republicans want to abolish the Department of Education.

PRESIDENT CLINTON SAYS EDUCATION KEY TO AMERICA'S FUTURE
Vows to Fight GOP Cuts in Education and Protect Investment in Tennessee's Families
"Cutting education in the time of global economic competition would be like cutting
defense spending during the Cold War. President Clinton, March 14, 1995
Education and training are cornerstones of President Clinton's economic policy, designed to
expand opportunities for all Americans. Now, more than ever, opportunity in the global economy
depends on skills and education. Yet Republicans plan significant cuts in the very educational
programs that help working families. Here is what that means to Tennessee:
STUDENT LOANS President Clinton supports student loans and opposes Republican
efforts to make them more expensive. Republicans want to help pay for their tax cuts for
the wealthy by eliminating a grace period that allows 4.5 million students to defer interest
charges while still in school. President Clinton will fight to stop Republicans from raising
the costs of college and job training for 81,879 students in Tennessee. The Department of
Education estimates that ending this grace period would mean that a student who borrows
$17,125 over four years would owe $3,150 more, and have his or her monthly repayment
amount increased by more than 18%.
DIRECT LENDING The President wants to expand his Direct Lending program which
simplifies the application process, reduces fees for students, and offers borrowers
convenient repayment options, including pay-as-you-can. Direct Lending is saving
taxpayers $6.8 billion in administrative expenses. The President opposes Republican
efforts to help banks by capping participation in Direct Lending and preventing thousands
of schools and millions of students from receiving its benefits. In the 1995-96 school
year, 18 schools in Tennessee will participate in direct lending. The Republican proposal
would prevent any further schools from entering the program.
MAKING COLLEGE AFFORDABLE President Clinton wants to offer a tax deduction
of up to $10,000 to help middle-class Americans meet the cost of education and job
training. Families in Tennessee would receive approximately $366 million from this
deduction over the next five years. The President opposes Republican efforts to cut
education to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy.
NATIONAL SERVICE AmeriCorps, President Clinton's service program, offers young
people a hand paying for their education if they give a hand to their community. The
President opposes Republican efforts to gut AmeriCorps and prevent 294 students in
Tennessee from serving their communities.
GOALS 2000 The President won passage of Goals 2000 to help states and local
communities train teachers and upgrade standards for their schools. Republicans call for a
40% cut in the program that would reduce support for high standards by $2,494,193 in as
many as 71 schools in Tennessee.
SAFE AND DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS President Clinton recognizes that safety in school
is a major concern of parents, students, and teachers. Republicans want to gut a program

students to avoid drugs and violence, and enables schools to purchase metal detectors and

ECONOMIC PROGRESS IN ALASKA UNDER PRESIDENT CLINTON
President Clinton's strategy to strengthen the economy is based on reducing the federal budget deficit, lowering trade
barriers, and empowering workers, families, businesses and communities to succeed. Here are some of the results for the
nation and Alaska after the first 28 months of the Clinton Administration:
Improved Economic and Fiscal Conditions in the United States:
Under Clinton Economic Plan, the deficit will be lowered by more than $600 billion -- the deficit will be cut for
three years in a row for the first time since Harry Truman was President.
6.7 million new jobs created. Private sector job growth rate 8 times faster than during previous Administration.
The Misery Index -- the combined measure of unemployment and inflation -- at lowest level in 25 years.
Federal government workforce will drop by 272,900 -- creating lowest workforce since the Kennedy Administration.
Improved Economic Conditions in Alaska:
The unemployment rate has dropped from 8.1% to 6.7%.
Bankruptcy filings have dropped 12% per year -- after rising 7% per year during the previous 12 years.
New home building has increased 19% per year.
Bank lending has increased 12% annually -- after decreasing 6% annually during the previous 12 years.
The Help Wanted Index has increased 18%.
Consumer confidence has increased 34%.
What President Clinton's Accomplishments Have Achieved for the People of Alaska:
$10,000 OF REDUCED FEDERAL DEBT FOR EVERY FAMILY OF FOUR IN ALASKA: By 1998, the national
debt will be more than $600 billion lower than was projected before the passage of the President's economic plan.
That's about $10,000 of reduced federal debt for each family of four in Alaska.
7 TIMES MORE ALASKA FAMILIES RECEIVE A TAX CUT THAN A TAX INCREASE: As a result of the
expanded Earned Income Tax Credit, 20,299 working families in Alaska will receive a tax cut. This compares to an
increase in the income tax rate for only the 2,817 wealthiest taxpayers in Alaska.
TAX CUT FOR 4,651 SMALL BUSINESSES IN ALASKA: The President helped entrepreneurs, proprietors, and
other small businessmen and women by expanding the annual expensing allowance from $10,000 to $17,500. About
4,651 small businesses in Alaska are likely to benefit from the expansion of the expensing allowance this year alone and
many more will benefit over the coming years.
66,000 ALASKA WORKERS PROTECTED BY FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT: The Family and
Medical Leave Act allows workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for the birth of a child, to care for a sick
family member, or if they become too sick to work. This law covers about 66,113 workers in Alaska, and protects the
jobs of 3,972 workers in Alaska who are likely to use unpaid leave this year alone.
8,800 STUDENTS AND FORMER STUDENTS IN ALASKA WILL BE ABLE TO BENEFIT FROM STUDENT
LOAN REFORMS: Approximately 8,800 Alaska borrowers 6,200 current borrowers and 2,600 new borrowers in
the next few years can take advantage of the new direct student loan program by participating directly in the program
or by consolidating guaranteed loans into direct loans. Some will benefit from lower interest rates, and all will benefit
from more repayment options, including income contingent repayment.

President Clinton's strategy to strengthen the economy is based on reducing the federal budget deficit, lowering
trade barriers, and empowering workers, families, businesses and communities to succeed. Here are some of the results
for the nation and Washington after the first 28 months of the Clinton Administration:
Improved Economic and Fiscal Conditions in the United States:
Under Clinton Economic Plan, the deficit will be lowered by more than $600 billion the deficit will be cut for
three years in a row for the first time since Harry Truman was President.
6.7 million new jobs created. Private sector job growth rate 8 times faster than during previous Administration.
The Misery Index the combined measure of unemployment and inflation -- at lowest level in 25 years.
Federal government workforce will drop by 272,900 -- creating lowest workforce since the Kennedy Administration.
Improved Economic Conditions in Washington:
The unemployment rate has dropped from 8.2% to 6.0%.
13% more new private sector jobs per year -- 51,244 vs. 45,300 average during the previous 4 years.

plan. That's about $10,000 of reduced federal debt for each family of four in Washington.
8 TIMES MORE WASHINGTON FAMILIES RECEIVE A TAX CUT THAN A TAX INCREASE: As a result of
the expanded Earned Income Tax Credit, 210,040 working families in Washington will receive a tax cut. This compares

and other small businessmen and women by expanding the annual expensing allowance from $10,000 to $17,500. About
28,617 small businesses in Washington are likely to benefit from the expansion of the expensing allowance this year
alone and many more will benefit over the coming years.
768,000 WASHINGTON WORKERS PROTECTED BY FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT: The Family
and Medical Leave Act allows workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for the birth of a child, to care for a sick
family member, or if they become too sick to work. This law covers about 767,575 workers in Washington, and protects
the jobs of 46,112 workers in Washington who are likely to use unpaid leave this year alone.
239,000 STUDENTS AND FORMER STUDENTS IN WASHINGTON WILL BE ABLE TO BENEFIT FROM
STUDENT LOAN REFORMS: Approximately 239,000 Washington borrowers 167,300 current borrowers and
71,700 new borrowers in the next few years -- can take advantage of the new direct student loan program by
participating directly in the program or by consolidating guaranteed loans into direct loans. Some will benefit from
lower interest rates, and all will benefit from more repayment options, including income contingent repayment.

IMPACT OF THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN WELFARE PROPOSAL
ON THE STATE OF ALASKA
The House Republican's Personal Responsibility Act ends numerous federal-state entitlement and
discretionary programs -- including Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), Emergency
Assistance (EA), child care, child welfare, and nutrition assistance and replaces them with block grants to
states. It cuts funding for Food Stamps and significantly reduces the number of disabled children eligible
for the childhood SSI program and converts most of the program into a block grant. This could result in
Alaska and its residents receiving significantly less federal funding for these programs.
TOTAL FIVE YEAR LOSSES FOR ALASKA: $147 MILLION
APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF ALASKA CHILDREN DENIED AFDC BENEFITS: 12,000
****
TITLE I would block grant cash assistance for needy families, resulting in $48 MILLION LESS in federal
funding for Alaska over the next five years than the state would have received under current law. States
would be prohibited from using federal block grant funds to provide benefits to many currently eligible
groups, including most legal immigrants and unmarried minor mothers and their children.
TITLE II would block grant federal funding for abused and neglected children and children in foster care or
adoptive placements, resulting in $5 MILLION LESS in federal funding for Alaska over the next five years.
The proposal eliminates federal funding for Family Preservation and Support and several other specific
programs to prevent child abuse and neglect. Though the block grant would grow modestly over the five
years, no adjustments are provided for population growth or economic cycles.
TITLE III would consolidate federal child care programs into a block grant that would CUT $5 MILLION
from the federal funds that would be provided to Alaska over five years. In the year 2000 alone the cut
would be $1.3 MILLION -- meaning that 860 FEWER CHILDREN would receive federal child care
assistance that year. Alaska would be subject to federal time limits and work requirements for its AFDC
recipients without guaranteed support for the child care services which are essential to making participation
in work possible. No adjustments would be provided for population growth and economic cycles.
TITLES III AND V also repeal existing nutrition assistance programs -- including School Lunch and WIC --
for needy families and replace them with a lump sum capped at less than the rate of inflation, resulting in
$40 MILLION LESS in federal funding to Alaska. These reductions would limit children's access to these
important programs, jeopardizing their nutrition and health.
TITLE IV would restrict welfare for legal immigrants, resulting in $15 MILLION LESS in federal funding
for Alaska's residents. Most legal immigrants would be ineligible for old-age or disability payments under
the SSI program, would not be able to receive temporary family assistance, and would not be eligible for
services funded under Title XX (Social Services Block Grant) and many other programs.
TITLE V would impose a rigid cap on Food Stamp expenditures, allowing no adjustments for economic
cycles. It would mandate work for certain recipients without providing funds to states for job creation. As
a result, Alaska would receive $37 MILLION LESS in federal funding over the five years.
TITLE VI would deny Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to many currently eligible persons and future
applicants -- particularly disabled children, many of whom would be denied all benefits due to eligibility
restrictions placed on them by the proposal. These reductions would result in $13 MILLION LESS in
federal funding for Alaska for childhood disability programs over the five years and would result in 23% of
disabled children losing eligibility for federal SSI benefits.

five years, no adjustments are provided for population growth or economic cycles.
TITLE III would consolidate federal child care programs into a block grant that would CUT $35 MILLION
from the federal funds that would be provided to Alabama over five years. In the year 2000 alone the cut
would be $10.3 MILLION-- meaning that 6,620 FEWER CHILDREN would receive federal child care
assistance that year. Alabama would be subject to federal time limits and work requirements for its AFDC
recipients without guaranteed support for the child care services which are essential to making participation
in work possible. No adjustments would be provided for population growth and economic cycles.
TITLES III AND V also repeal existing nutrition assistance programs - including School Lunch and WIC
for needy families and replace them with a lump sum capped at less than the rate of inflation, resulting in
$120 MILLION LESS in federal funding to Alabama. These reductions would limit children's access to
these important programs, jeopardizing their nutrition and health.
TITLE IV would restrict welfare for legal immigrants, resulting in $11 MILLION LESS in federal funding
for Alabama's residents. Most legal immigrants would be ineligible for old-age or disability payments under
the SSI program, would not be able to receive temporary family assistance, and would not be eligible for
services funded under Title XX (Social Services Block Grant) and many other programs.
TITLE V would impose a rigid cap on Food Stamp expenditures, allowing no adjustments for economic
cycles. It would mandate work for certain recipients without providing funds to states for job creation. As
a result, Alabama would receive $353 MILLION LESS in federal funding over the five years.
TITLE VI would deny Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to many currently eligible persons and future
applicants - particularly disabled children, many of whom would be denied all benefits due to eligibility
restrictions placed on them by the proposal. These reductions would result in $359 MILLION LESS in
federal funding for Alabama for childhood disability programs over the five years and would result in 25%
of disabled children losing eligibility for federal SSI benefits.

TITLE III would consolidate federal child care programs into a block grant that would CUT $31 MILLION
from the federal funds that would be provided to Arizona over five years. In the year 2000 alone the cut
would be $9.3 MILLION - meaning that 6,010 FEWER CHILDREN would receive federal child care
assistance that year. Arizona would be subject to federal time limits and work requirements for its AFDC
recipients without guaranteed support for the child care services which are essential to making participation
in work possible. No adjustments would be provided for population growth and economic cycles.
TITLES III AND V also repeal existing nutrition assistance programs -- including School Lunch and WIC -

IMPACT OF THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN WELFARE PROPOSAL
ON THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT
The House Republican's Personal Responsibility Act ends numerous federal-state entitlement and
discretionary programs -- including Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), Emergency
Assistance (EA), child care, child welfare, and nutrition assistance and replaces them with block grants to
states. It cuts funding for Food Stamps and significantly reduces the number of disabled children eligible
for the childhood SSI program and converts most of the program into a block grant. This could result in
Connecticut and its residents receiving significantly less federal funding for these programs.
TOTAL FIVE YEAR LOSSES FOR CONNECTICUT: $523 MILLION
APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF CONNECTICUT CHILDREN DENIED AFDC BENEFITS: 59,000
****
TITLE I would block grant cash assistance for needy families, resulting in $145 MILLION LESS in federal
funding for Connecticut over the next five years than the state would have received under current law.
States would be prohibited from using federal block grant funds to provide benefits to many currently
eligible groups, including most legal immigrants and unmarried minor mothers and their children.
TITLE II would block grant federal funding for abused and neglected children and children in foster care or
adoptive placements, resulting in $44 MILLION LESS in federal funding for Connecticut over the next five
years. The proposal eliminates federal funding for Family Preservation and Support and several other
specific programs to prevent child abuse and neglect. Though the block grant would grow modestly over the
five years, no adjustments are provided for population growth or economic cycles.
TITLE III would consolidate federal child care programs into a block grant that would CUT $21 MILLION
from the federal funds that would be provided to Connecticut over five years. In the year 2000 alone the
cut would be $6.3 MILLION - meaning that 4,080 FEWER CHILDREN would receive federal child care
assistance that year. Connecticut would be subject to federal time limits and work requirements for its
AFDC recipients without guaranteed support for the child care services which are essential to making
participation in work possible. No adjustments would be provided for population growth and economic
cycles.
TITLES III AND V also repeal existing nutrition assistance programs - including School Lunch and WIC
for needy families and replace them with a lump sum capped at less than the rate of inflation, resulting in
$40 MILLION LESS in federal funding to Connecticut. These reductions would limit children's access to
these important programs, jeopardizing their nutrition and health.
TITLE IV would restrict welfare for legal immigrants, resulting in $86 MILLION LESS in federal funding
for Connecticut's residents. Most legal immigrants would be ineligible for old-age or disability payments
under the SSI program, would not be able to receive temporary family assistance, and would not be eligible
for services funded under Title XX (Social Services Block Grant) and many other programs.
TITLE V would impose a rigid cap on Food Stamp expenditures, allowing no adjustments for economic
cycles. It would mandate work for certain recipients without providing funds to states for job creation. As

applicants -- particularly disabled children, many of whom would be denied all benefits due to eligibility
restrictions placed on them by the proposal. These reductions would result in $55 MILLION LESS in

22% of disabled children losing eligibility for federal SSI benefits.

IMPACT OF THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN WELFARE PROPOSAL
ON THE STATE OF KANSAS
The House Republican's Personal Responsibility Act ends numerous federal-state entitlement and
discretionary programs -- including Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), Emergency
Assistance (EA), child care, child welfare, and nutrition assistance - and replaces them with block grants to
states. It cuts funding for Food Stamps and significantly reduces the number of disabled children eligible
for the childhood SSI program and converts most of the program into a block grant. This could result in
Kansas and its residents receiving significantly less federal funding for these programs.
TOTAL FIVE YEAR LOSSES FOR KANSAS: $471 MILLION
APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF KANSAS CHILDREN DENIED AFDC BENEFITS: 33,000
****
TITLE I would block grant cash assistance for needy families, resulting in $58 MILLION LESS in federal
funding for Kansas over the next five years than the state would have received under current law. States
would be prohibited from using federal block grant funds to provide benefits to many currently eligible
groups, including most legal immigrants and unmarried minor mothers and their children.
TITLE II would block grant federal funding for abused and neglected children and children in foster care or
adoptive placements, resulting in $28 MILLION LESS in federal funding for Kansas over the next five
years. The proposal eliminates federal funding for Family Preservation and Support and several other
specific programs to prevent child abuse and neglect. Though the block grant would grow modestly over the
five years, no adjustments are provided for population growth or economic cycles.
TITLE III would consolidate federal child care programs into a block grant that would CUT $20 MILLION
from the federal funds that would be provided to Kansas over five years. In the year 2000 alone the cut
would be $5.8 MILLION meaning that 3,750 FEWER CHILDREN would receive federal child care
assistance that year. Kansas would be subject to federal time limits and work requirements for its AFDC
recipients without guaranteed support for the child care services which are essential to making participation
in work possible. No adjustments would be provided for population growth and economic cycles.
TITLES III AND V also repeal existing nutrition assistance programs -- including School Lunch and WIC --
for needy families and replace them with a lump sum capped at less than the rate of inflation, resulting in
$100 MILLION LESS in federal funding to Kansas. These reductions would limit children's access to these
important programs, jeopardizing their nutrition and health.
TITLE IV would restrict welfare for legal immigrants, resulting in $22 MILLION LESS in federal funding
for Kansas's residents. Most legal immigrants would be ineligible for old-age or disability payments under
the SSI program, would not be able to receive temporary family assistance, and would not be eligible for
services funded under Title XX (Social Services Block Grant) and many other programs.
TITLE V would impose a rigid cap on Food Stamp expenditures, allowing no adjustments for economic
cycles. It would mandate work for certain recipients without providing funds to states for job creation. As
a result, Kansas would receive $160 MILLION LESS in federal funding over the five years.
TITLE VI would deny Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to many currently eligible persons and future
applicants - particularly disabled children, many of whom would be denied all benefits due to eligibility
restrictions placed on them by the proposal. These reductions would result in $126 MILLION LESS in
federal funding for Kansas for childhood disability programs over the five years and would result in 30% of
disabled children losing eligibility for federal SSI benefits.

assistance that year. Kentucky would be subject to federal time limits and work requirements for its AFDC
recipients without guaranteed support for the child care services which are essential to making participation

applicants - particularly disabled children, many of whom would be denied all benefits due to eligibility
restrictions placed on them by the proposal. These reductions would result in $466 MILLION LESS in
federal funding for Kentucky for childhood disability programs over the five years and would result in 37%
of disabled children losing eligibility for federal SSI benefits.

Assistance (EA), child care, child welfare, and nutrition assistance and replaces them with block grants to
states. It cuts funding for Food Stamps and significantly reduces the number of disabled children eligible
for the childhood SSI program and converts most of the program into a block grant. This could result in
Montana and its residents receiving significantly less federal funding for these programs.
TOTAL FIVE YEAR LOSSES FOR MONTANA: $131 MILLION
APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF MONTANA CHILDREN DENIED AFDC BENEFITS: 10,000
****
TITLE I would block grant cash assistance for needy families, resulting in $30 MILLION LESS in federal
funding for Montana over the next five years than the state would have received under current law. States
would be prohibited from using federal block grant funds to provide benefits to many currently eligible
groups, including most legal immigrants and unmarried minor mothers and their children.
TITLE II would block grant federal funding for abused and neglected children and children in foster care or
adoptive placements, resulting in $7 MILLION LESS in federal funding for Montana over the next five
years. The proposal eliminates federal funding for Family Preservation and Support and several other
specific programs to prevent child abuse and neglect. Though the block grant would grow modestly over the
five years, no adjustments are provided for population growth or economic cycles.
TITLE III would consolidate federal child care programs into a block grant that would CUT $6 MILLION
from the federal funds that would be provided to Montana over five years. In the year 2000 alone the cut
would be $1.7 million meaning that 1,130 FEWER CHILDREN would receive federal child care assistance
that year. Montana would be subject to federal time limits and work requirements for its AFDC recipients
without guaranteed support for the child care services which are essential to making participation in work
possible. No adjustments would be provided for population growth and economic cycles.
TITLES III AND V also repeal existing nutrition assistance programs - including School Lunch and WIC
for needy families and replace them with a lump sum capped at less than the rate of inflation, resulting in
$30 MILLION LESS in federal funding to Montana. These reductions would limit children's access to
these important programs, jeopardizing their nutrition and health.
TITLE IV would restrict welfare for legal immigrants, resulting in $3 MILLION LESS in federal funding for
Montana's residents. Most legal immigrants would be ineligible for old-age or disability payments under the
SSI program, would not be able to receive temporary family assistance, and would not be eligible for
services funded under Title XX (Social Services Block Grant) and many other programs.
TITLE V would impose a rigid cap on Food Stamp expenditures, allowing no adjustments for economic
cycles. It would mandate work for certain recipients without providing funds to states for job creation. As
a result, Montana would receive $47 MILLION LESS in federal funding over the five years.
TITLE VI would deny Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to many currently eligible persons and future
applicants particularly disabled children, many of whom would be denied all benefits due to eligibility
restrictions placed on them by the proposal. These reductions would result in $20 MILLION LESS in
federal funding for Montana for childhood disability programs over the five years and would result in 17%
of disabled children losing eligibility for federal SSI benefits.

TITLE I would block grant cash assistance for needy families, resulting in $86 MILLION LESS in federal
funding for Oklahoma over the next five years than the state would have received under current law. States
would be prohibited from using federal block grant funds to provide benefits to many currently eligible
groups, including most legal immigrants and unmarried minor mothers and their children.
TITLE II would block grant federal funding for abused and neglected children and children in foster care or
adoptive placements, resulting in $27 MILLION LESS in federal funding for Oklahoma over the next five
years. The proposal eliminates federal funding for Family Preservation and Support and several other
specific programs to prevent child abuse and neglect. Though the block grant would grow modestly over the
five years, no adjustments are provided for population growth or economic cycles.

assistance that year. Oklahoma would be subject to federal time limits and work requirements for its
AFDC recipients without guaranteed support for the child care services which are essential to making
participation in work possible. No adjustments would be provided for population growth and economic
cycles.

for Oklahoma's residents. Most legal immigrants would be ineligible for old-age or disability payments
under the SSI program, would not be able to receive temporary family assistance, and would not be eligible
for services funded under Title XX (Social Services Block Grant) and many other programs.
TITLE V would impose a rigid cap on Food Stamp expenditures, allowing no adjustments for economic
cycles. It would mandate work for certain recipients without providing funds to states for job creation. As
a result, Oklahoma would receive $254 MILLION LESS in federal funding over the five years.
TITLE VI would deny Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to many currently eligible persons and future
applicants -- particularly disabled children, many of whom would be denied all benefits due to eligibility
restrictions placed on them by the proposal. These reductions would result in $48 MILLION LESS in
federal funding for Oklahoma for childhood disability programs over the five years and would result in 14%

TITLES III AND V also repeal existing nutrition assistance programs - including School Lunch and WIC
for needy families and replace them with a lump sum capped at less than the rate of inflation, resulting in
$13 MILLION LESS in federal funding to Vermont. These reductions would limit children's access to
these important programs, jeopardizing their nutrition and health.
TITLE IV would restrict welfare for legal immigrants, resulting in $5 MILLION LESS in federal funding for
Vermont's residents. Most legal immigrants would be ineligible for old-age or disability payments under the
SSI program, would not be able to receive temporary family assistance, and would not be eligible for
services funded under Title XX (Social Services Block Grant) and many other programs.
TITLE V would impose a rigid cap on Food Stamp expenditures, allowing no adjustments for economic
cycles. It would mandate work for certain recipients without providing funds to states for job creation. As
a result, Vermont would receive $38 MILLION LESS in federal funding over the five years.
TITLE VI would deny Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to many currently eligible persons and future
applicants - particularly disabled children, many of whom would be denied all benefits due to eligibility
restrictions placed on them by the proposal. These reductions would result in NO INCREASE in federal
funding for Vermont for childhood disability programs over the five years and would result in 6% of
disabled children losing eligibility for federal SSI benefits.

IMPACT OF THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN WELFARE PROPOSAL
ON THE STATE OF VIRGINIA
The House Republican's Personal Responsibility Act ends numerous federal-state entitlement and
discretionary programs - including Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), Emergency
Assistance (EA), child care, child welfare, and nutrition assistance and replaces them with block grants to
states. It cuts funding for Food Stamps and significantly reduces the number of disabled children eligible
for the childhood SSI program and converts most of the program into a block grant. This could result in
Virginia and its residents receiving significantly less federal funding for these programs.
TOTAL FIVE YEAR LOSSES FOR VIRGINIA: $1.002 BILLION
APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF VIRGINIA CHILDREN DENIED AFDC BENEFITS: 71,000
****
TITLE I would block grant cash assistance for needy families, resulting in $95 MILLION LESS in federal
funding for Virginia over the next five years than the state would have received under current law. States
would be prohibited from using federal block grant funds to provide benefits to many currently eligible
groups, including most legal immigrants and unmarried minor mothers and their children.
TITLE II would block grant federal funding for abused and neglected children and children in foster care or
adoptive placements, resulting in $35 MILLION LESS in federal funding for Virginia over the next five
years. The proposal eliminates federal funding for Family Preservation and Support and several other
specific programs to prevent child abuse and neglect. Though the block grant would grow modestly over the
five years, no adjustments are provided for population growth or economic cycles.
TITLE III would consolidate federal child care programs into a block grant that would CUT $34 MILLION
from the federal funds that would be provided to Virginia over five years. In the year 2000 alone the cut
would be $10.2 MILLION - meaning that 6,580 FEWER CHILDREN would receive federal child care
assistance that year. Virginia would be subject to federal time limits and work requirements for its AFDC
recipients without guaranteed support for the child care services which are essential to making participation
in work possible. No adjustments would be provided for population growth and economic cycles.
TITLES III AND V also repeal existing nutrition assistance programs - including School Lunch and WIC
for needy families and replace them with a lump sum capped at less than the rate of inflation, resulting in
$9 MILLION LESS in federal funding to Virginia. These reductions would limit children's access to these
important programs, jeopardizing their nutrition and health.
TITLE IV would restrict welfare for legal immigrants, resulting in $113 MILLION LESS in federal funding
for Virginia's residents. Most legal immigrants would be ineligible for old-age or disability payments under
the SSI program, would not be able to receive temporary family assistance, and would not be eligible for
services funded under Title XX (Social Services Block Grant) and many other programs.
TITLE V would impose a rigid cap on Food Stamp expenditures, allowing no adjustments for economic
cycles. It would mandate work for certain recipients without providing funds to states for job creation. As
a result, Virginia would receive $426 MILLION LESS in federal funding over the five years.
TITLE VI would deny Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to many currently eligible persons and future
applicants - particularly disabled children, many of whom would be denied all benefits due to eligibility
restrictions placed on them by the proposal. These reductions would result in $398 MILLION LESS in
federal funding for Virginia for childhood disability programs over the five years and would result in 34% of
disabled children losing eligibility for federal SSI benefits.
