Shirley has requested this meeting. As a follow up to David R.'s
conversation with Mr. Harry Hatry of the Urban Institute, I spoke to Mr.
Hatry this morning and Mr. Hatry is available on August 1 either from
10-12 noon (he prefers this time) or 2-4 p.m. Please let me know as soon
possible which is best for you and I will confirm with Mr. Hatry.
Thanks.

Subject: Meeting on Government Performance Results Act Requirements
Shirley wants a meeting of the people listed below to discuss GPRA
requirements with Mr. Harry Hatry of the Urban Institute. I have talked
with Mr. Hatry and he tells me that he is available just about anytime
during the two weeks, 7/22 thru 8/2.
Could you set up a meeting to conform to Shirley and Terry's calendars?
We should need about two hours. It is a complex subject, but if that is
too much time, at least one hour.
Here is Harry's number at the Urban Institute: (202) 857-8521.
When you need more info from me, give me a call. I am going over to the
Senior Conference for the rest of the day and will be back in the office
tomorrow.

Today was our first attempt to get everyone together for a quick decision meeting from 2:30-3:00 and a long-term
planning meeting on forums from 3-5 pm. Because many people couldn't make it, we are rescheduling. Await an
e-mail on a new time for the forum planning session--- it will be early morning next week sometime between 8:30
am and 10:30am.
For our next weekly forum meeting, everyone will be asked to
1) present a progress report on their forum
2) bring draft objectives for their forum
3) bring a draft timeline for their forum --it's okay if the actual adates are tentative, the tasks to be accomplished
are important.
4) suggest dates that are good for afterschool and mentoring forum. (Oct. 23-25 won't work for the afterschool
forum since it is the swearing in ceremony for the AmeriCorps programs.)
Please let me know before Monday 8/5 if you think any of the following dates would NOT work:
-Nov. 13, 14, 15
-Dec. 4,5,6(12/6 is the first day of Hannukah--we would finish by 12 noon)

August 8th Board conference call
Importance:
High
Friends, Neighbors, Countrymen, lend me your ear or something like
that. On August 8th at 11:00 a.m. EDT (notice the time change), we will have
our monthly board conference call. Please note that I will be on vacation
and out of town.
So far, the following people have responded that they will be available for
the conference call: Bob Rogers, Reatha Clark King, Tom Ehrlich, Victor
Ashe, Art Naparstek, Chris Gallagher, Eli Segal, Carol Kinsley and Les
Lenkowsky (although I expect him to cancel). John Rother is currently the
only person I do not expect on the call.
As usual, the conference operator is to call all parties, beginning with
Harris at x177. Give or take a few minutes, they should begin calling
everyone at 10 minutes before 11. Should you miss the call or have problems
with the call, please call 800-545-4387 and use the I.D. #34861.
Deb, you may want to send out an agenda a day or two before the call. Bryson
can help you with faxing it to the Board members.
If you need to reach me during that week (Aug 5 - 9), I'll check my voice
mail regularly.
Thanks,
Rhonda

Importance:

Timetables.
The changes to AFDC generally take effect on July 1, 1997. States have the option, however, to
accelerate the effective date by submitting a plan outlining a family assistance program. States who have
obtained waivers under current law (usually for demonstration projects) can (1) either delay the effective date
until the expiration of the waiver or (2) opt to terminate the waiver and adopt a new family assistance program
under the new Act. The bottom line is that a State may adopt a new family assistance program as soon as the
law is signed.
HHS and the Social Security Administration have 90 days from enactment to submit to Congress a
legislative proposal with amendments "as are necessary to bring the law into conformity with the policy
embodied" in the new Act.
Issues raised by Diana London
I'll try to address Diana's questions #2-4 from a legal perspective.
Will welfare offices consider national service as satisfying work participation requirements? They should. The
Act includes in its definition of "work activities" the following: "community service programs". States have a
financial interest in increasing the number of recipients engaging in work activities, so I would expect an
increased interest in national service from a participant angle.
Is the DVSA income disregard rule still good law?
Yes. The DVSA states that "notwithstanding any other provision of law except as may be provided
expressly in limitation of [the DVSA provision], payments to volunteers under this Act shall not in any way reduce
Page 1
or eliminate the level of or eligibility for assistance or services any such volunteers may be receiving under any
governmental program [as long as the payments are less than the relevant minimum wage]."
However, ensuring that welfare offices continue to apply the DVSA income disregard presents a
challenge. You might consider strategies including (1) requesting that HHS propose some language in its
expected legislative proposal; (2) requesting the HHS include language in any waivers under the current Act; (3)
communicating directly with State agencies or their designees; (4) communicating directly with volunteers; (5)
involving Corporation State offices; (6) involving State Commissions.
Does the new law affect the DVSA provision that allows VISTAs to maintain eligibility for governmental
assistance regardless of their participation in employment and training programs during their term of service?
It should not. The cited DVSA provision includes the sentence: "Notwithstanding any other provision of law",
indicating that VISTAs will be continue to be excused from such training and employment. Given the wholesale
changes in administration of these programs, however, it is likely that individual VISTAs may face adverse action
based on their alleged failure to work or participate in workfare. We should consider a strategy vis a vis the
State welfare agencies as well as USDA for Food Stamps to prevent this.
I look forward to Friday's meeting.

RE: Welfare Reform
Steve:
These kind of discussions might need to happen sooner than later. In North
Central Cluster, states like Wisconsin are already positioned to pass a state
Welfare reform measure very soon (they have been working on this anticipating
national/congressional action). For example, in Wisconsin's current welfare
reform legislation under consideration right now, National service (Ameri
Corps specifically) doesn't fit within the definitions the bill uses, however
the bill does identify "community service" as a tool to assist welfare reform
efforts.
Do we need to survey the land first, and find out which state legislatures
are on the fast track, what the various pieces of legislation say, and do
they allow room for National Service programs?
Just a thought

we were just talking about this. i think welfare reform presents an
enormous opportunity for us. It's all up to the states now and they'll be
struggling to figure out how to help get these folks off the rolls and i
nto jobs without hurting kids. Service should become a major tool. I
suggested to Dana that he do a piece in the next newsletter on the
programs we have already at work. But we should put our heads together on
what to do next. It may be t/a should put out an issue paper on this to
go to the states.
rather than having a meeting - let's do a little e-mail brainstorming.
Any of you know about programs or ideas that would help service respond
to this challenge?

Subject: Welfare Reform
With the advent of the new welfare reform legislation, I think we need to
consider a number of policy/legal issues which are likely to be raised:
1) Should AmeriCorps*VISTA, as well as other Corp programs, devote more
program resources to projects which are focused on providing employment
opportunities for welfare recipients? We already have a number of such
projects operating, but should we plan on doing more? The focus here is
on the project, not the enrollment of welfare recipients as national
service participants.
2) However, will welfare offices, based on law or potential regulations,
consider national service as a suitable "employment/training" opportunity
which could satisfy the requirements of the new legislation? If so, what
will be the Corporation's "stance" on that?
3) For programs covered by AFDC "income disregard" provisions (VISTA and
Senior Corps), will those provisions still apply? If so, we need to work
with HHS to incorporate those disregard provisions in their new
regulations similar to those which exist currently.
4) VISTA has an additonal legal provision which allows volunteers to
maintain public assistance benefits without having to "register for,
seek, or accept employment or training" during their service. Will the
new law affect that in any way?
I know that the Policy Group has been temporarily disbanded, but I think
we need to meet in the near future to consider some of these issues. Pls
let me know. Thanx

This is the Plenary Session Working group, (or at least those who have
expressed interested and/or been drafted to serve on it.) We would like to
meet Tuesday, at 2:30 p.m. in room 8721. Basically, we should discuss
formats, potential speakers and presentations for the plenary sessions for
the conference. We have the brainstorm list from the last meeting, to which
people have already added topics. Come with ideas for speakers as well. The
meeting will last 45 minutes to an hour. Hopefully, we can develop some
solid proposals to bring to the full planning committee on Thursday.
Please let me know if you will be attending.
Thanks.

Today was our first attempt to get everyone together for a quick decision meeting from 2:30-3:00 and a
long-term planning meeting on forums from 3-5 pm. Because many people couldn't make it, we are
rescheduling. Await an e-mail on a new time for the forum planning session--- it will be early morning
next week sometime between 8:30 am and 10:30am.
For our next weekly forum meeting, everyone will be asked to
1) present a progress report on their forum
2) bring draft objectives for their forum
3) bring a draft timeline for their forum --it's okay if the actual adates are tentative, the tasks to be
accomplished are important.
4) suggest dates that are good for afterschool and mentoring forum. (Oct. 23-25 won't work for the
afterschool forum since it is the swearing in ceremony for the AmeriCorps programs.)
Please let me know before Monday 8/5 if you think any of the following dates would NOT work:
-Nov. 13, 14, 15
-Dec. 4,5,6(12/6 is the first day of Hannukah--we would finish by 12 noon)
