WELFARE AT FOUR: Administration and Welfare to Work Partnership Take Stock
The Administration: Commemorating the four-year anniversary of the signing of the welfare
law, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, on August 22 the
Clinton Administration released new data on the rapid declines in welfare caseloads and the
record proportion of people on welfare who are now working. This data was released within a
set of announcements made by the White House and the Department of Health and Human
Services' Third Annual Report to Congress. President Clinton indicated that not only are the
welfare rolls half of what they were in 1996, but the percentage of Americans on welfare, now
2.3%, is at its lowest level in 35 years. Because of the significant increases in the number of
working welfare recipients, from 7% in 1992 to a record high of 33% in 1999, all of the states
were able to meet welfare reform's overall work participation requirements in 1999. The
Administration released the following information on welfare trends:
In December of 1999 the welfare rolls totaled 6.3 million. Compared with the January 1993
total caseload of 14.1 million, the December 1999 total reveals a 56% decline in the number
of welfare caseloads. About 75% of this decline has occurred since the welfare reform law
was enacted.
