Response: We have decided to retain measures of Medicaid/SCHIP
and food stamp participation in the final rule because we are
committed to a high performance bonus system that rewards States
not just for employment successes, but also for their efforts to
support low-income families during their transitions. We believe
these measures are consistent with, and support the statutory
purposes of, TANF. By participating in Food Stamps and Medicaid
or SCHIP, needy families receive the assistance they need to care
for children in their homes (purpose one) and improve their
chances of ending dependence on government benefits through work
(purpose two) In fact, the bipartisan comments we received from
Members of Congress on these measures uniformly supported their
inclusion.
In response to the technical and substantive concerns raised by
the States and others, we very carefully considered all the
suggestions for how to improve the measures and looked for ways
to address the States' concerns. As you will find in the
section-by-section analysis, we have made a number of changes
that respond to the concerns. For example, we have made it more
/
explicit that States may choose of whether Jadd to compete on the Food
Stamp measure (consistent with our approach 31 for all the
measures) / dropped the "qualifying conditions" for both the Food
Stamp and Medicaid/SCHIP measures (i.e. the threshold conditions
that States had to meet in order to compete on these measures),
added awards for absolute performance (not just improvement), and
