    INTRODUCTION
    In his March 8, 1997 memorandum , President Clinton reiterated his commitment to providing employment opportunities to welfare recipients and directed the heads of the federal government's executive departments and agencies to lead by example and move people off the welfare rolls into federal jobs using available hiring authorities. The President asked Vice President Gore to oversee this effort. The Office of Personnel Management Welfare to Work web pages provide guidance regarding hiring authorities available for use in the efforts of Executive Departments and Agencies to provide employment opportunities for welfare recipients.

    MEMORANDUM FROM THE PRESIDENT
    March 8, 1997
    MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES SUBJECT: Government Employment for Welfare Recipients
    Since I signed the historic welfare reform law, I have urged businesses, nonprofit organizations, and religious groups across the Nation to help make its promise of opportunity real by offering jobs to welfare recipients. We are making great progress, but there is more to do. And today, I take action to ensure that the Federal Government, as the Nation's largest employer, contributes to the greatest extent possible to this national effort.
    I therefore direct each of you, as head of an agency or department, to use all available hiring authorities, consistent with statute and prior executive memoranda, to hire people off the welfare rolls into available job positions in the Government.
    In particular, I direct you to expand the use of the WorkerTrainee Program and other excepted service hiring authorities. The Worker-Trainee Program allows agencies to quickly and easily hire entry-level persons for up to 3 years, with the ability to convert the appointment to career status if the employee has performed satisfactorily. Though recently underutilized, the program allows agencies to bypass complex Federal personnel hiring rules and procedures to bring people into the junior grades of the work force.
    I further direct you, in recognition of the different characteristics of the various agencies' work forces, to prepare an individualized plan for hiring welfare recipients and to submit that plan to me within 30 days. This plan should have three principal components:

    Technical Analysis Paper No. 45 January, 1996
    DHHS, quite understandably, tends to think of the world in terms of individuals, families and households to whom it delivers services. However, those whose concern is with economic development and labor market policy tend to see the world more in terms of places and variations among places. What might be the implications for DHHS concerns, particularly the ability to move from welfare to work, if it attempted to think systematically about the problem of service delivery to individuals, families and households within the context of places or areas which differ in important respects? Do differences among areas in their characteristics affect the ability of individuals to move from welfare to work? What are these place-related characteristics? If they do affect the ability to move from welfare to work, what are the implications, particularly as we consider substantial changes in the existing welfare system, in terms of policy and legislation, technical assistance, and research and evaluation?

    Summary of Policy Guidance Prohibition Against Discrimination on the Basis of Disability in the Administration of TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is issuing policy guidance on the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of disability in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 in the administration of TANF programs. On August 27, 1999, the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued two-part guidance on civil rights laws and welfare reform. These materials explain how Federal civil rights laws apply to certain aspects of welfare reform. The purpose of the present guidance is to respond to a myriad of additional questions that have been raised by State agencies, counties, service providers, and persons with disabilities regarding the obligations to adopt methods for administering welfare programs to ensure equal opportunity for persons with disabilities in all aspects of a TANF program, including applications, assessments, work program activities, sanctions, and time limits. The guidance also is necessary because the Department has indicated that States may be subject to penalties if audits show that they "over-sanction," i.e., impose sanctions on individuals when sanctions are inappropriate. This policy guidance clarifies the obligations Title II of the ADA and Section 504 impose on State and local government entities, and on recipients of Federal financial assistance from HHS involved in TANF activities, in fulfilling their responsibilities pursuant to Title II of the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

    Anonymous
    The Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES), U.S. Department of Agriculture's contribution to welfare reform issues can be summed up in two words fish and fishing. Social service agencies give fish to people by providing benefits such as SSI, food stamps, and other subsidies to temporarily relieve hardships. But CSREES, in cooperation with the nationwide land-grant university system, helps move families and individuals from dependency to self-sufficiency by using research, education, and extension outreach to teach them how to fish to develop skills needed to be productive citizens for a lifetime. how to fish...to change their attitudes, knowledge, and skills, so that responsibility and self-sufficiency become ways of life.
    Research as a Tool
    University faculty have the skills to design methods to monitor the effects felt by children, youth, families, and communities when welfare legislation is implemented at state and county levels. Local Extension educators have direct access to welfare families, especially in rural areas. Land- grant undergraduate and graduate students can be available to canvass communities and collect and analyse data from welfare families.

Many more TANF families are unassisted by housing subsidies but risk housing crises in the absence of sustained employment. Housing and welfare programs have historically had different goals, and evidence of effectively linking housing and other anti-poverty strategies is limited. Welfare reform could bring new opportunities to enhance natural linkages for at least three reasons. Second, several HUD-funded programs are explicitly aimed at promoting self-sufficiency, and preference and rent options in the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 could encourage PHAs to pursue those objectives aggressively. Other programs (e.g., Empowerment Zones, Community and Economic Development and Supportive Services Block Grants, and especially HOPE VI) can be used to access jobs and supportive services. Housing and community development programs themselves are major job generators, and recipients of most federal housing funds are mandated to hire low income residents from the area. In addition, new flexibility in final TANF regulations may allow TANF and state maintenance of effort dollars to be used to prevent homelessness and for related purposes, irrespective of cash assistance.

    I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
    Current federal welfare policy requires minor custodial parents receiving cash assistance to attend school and live with their parents or in an adult-supervised setting. Congress established these requirements as part of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), which created the program for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and abolished the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program. While we have little ability to examine how these requirements are being implemented under TANF at this early date, we can observe how several states implemented similar requirements under federal waivers. his report summarizes lessons based on an examination of the operational experiences in four states that implemented school attendance and living arrangements requirements using federal waivers under the prior AFDC program. The four states are Arizona, California, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The report draws lessons in three areas: (1) identifying teenage parents, (2) implementing school attendance requirements, and (3) implementing living arrangement requirements. IDENTIFYING TEENAGE PARENTS Identifying teenage parents, particularly those on someone else's grant, can be a major challenge.
