Excerpt from Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 1996, Vol. 4 of 4: Hearings Before the Committee on the Budget, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session; February 2 1995 Block Grants and Opportunities for Devolution; April 18, 1995-Returning Decisions to the State With the help of several Federal waivers under two Presidents, both President Bush and President Clinton, we also implemented incentives to make work pay and to put an emphasis on getting rid of any disincentives to work, to saving, and to entrepreneurship. The results thus far have been impressive, and Senator Abraham touched on those in his introduction. Three out of four welfare par ents voluntarily participated in the Social Contract. More than one out of four are working and earning income compared to less than one in ten nationwide. In our case, the actual number is some parents working out of an approximate caseload Of a little more than Nationally, though, about 7 to 8 percent is the average compared to our 26 percent. AS a result, also, since we began reforming welfare, cases have been closed due to income from employment. At the same time, overall welfare caseloads have fallen to the lowest level since 1988. Today, with additional Federal waivers, the social-contract is now mandatory with an increased emphasis on work as the first step toward independence. Grants will be reduced for those who fail to comply within the first year and eliminated for those who fail to cooperate in the second year.
