Re:
Comments on Department of Health and Human Services' proposed measures for the
TANF High Performance Bonus, 64 Fed. Reg. 68202 (Dec. 6, 1999)
Dear Secretary Shalala:
I am writing to express my support for the Department of Health and Human Services' efforts to
develop additional measures for the TANF High Performance Bonus. As a U.S. Senator, I have
devoted much of my time and energy to addressing the needs of low-income children and their
families, and I feel strongly that the High Performance Bonus can be a useful tool in rewarding
states that most carefully attend to the needs of this population.
I feel equally strongly that the High Performance Bonus can also provide us with an invaluable
data collection tool. As the National Research Council writes in Evaluating Welfare Reform: A
Framework and Review of Current Work,
"Gaps in the data infrastructure for determining the effects of welfare reform are
numerous Federal data-gathering activities on the details of state policies have
been slow and haphazard
Program devolution has also constrained the ability
of the federal government to mandate data collection or research to track the effects
of the changes in social welfare programs required by the new legislation. Yet it is
clear that the federal government and Congress will need a national-level assessment
of how the new programs are working, especially to make informed decisions about
the renewal of PRWORA"
It is vital that we take whatever steps are necessary to collect the data that will be essential for
evaluating the success or failure of welfare reform as we move toward reauthorization in 2002.
The data collected through the High Performance Bonus can provide a critical component of our
understanding of the effects of welfare reform. I urge HHS to begin the use of additional
measures immediately, so that Congress may have access to such data prior to reauthorization.
