President reported this week is so significant: the award of
welfare-to-work job placement and retention bonuses to 27
states and the District of Columbia.
This performance bonus was a Progressive Policy Institute
idea that was included in the 1996 legislation thanks to the
efforts of President Clinton and DLC Chairman Sen. Joe
Lieberman. It reflected the concern that states might make
caseload reductions -- which automatically "freed up" federai
funds for unrestricted state use under the welfare block grant
-- the sole goal in welfare reform, rather than making sure
welfare recipients were getting into and staying in real,
private-sector jobs.
This week's bonuses awards were in four categories: overall
success in job placement, job retention, and for greatest
improvement in each of those two categories. Arkansas,
Hawaii and Wisconsin won awards in three categories, and
the other states on the honor roll included Alabama,
California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois,
Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Michigan, Montana, Nevada,
New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and
Wyoming.
The Clinton Administration deserves enduring credit for
presiding over the most important national social policy
change since the Great Society, and for keeping its, and
our, eyes on the real prize: not just lowering welfare rolls,
but lifting millions of American families out of dependence
and into the mainstream world of private-sector work.
