- Summary:
-
This testimony, from welfare reform hearings in New York City, was given before the Senate Subcommittee on Social Security and Family Policy. The hearings were held to gather information for new regulations regarding public monies for child support. The Senate is considering whether to reform the present welfare system or to replace it with a new one. Of special interest at the hearings was the provision of services to families and children in crisis. The issues involved with reforming or changing the system are the following: (1) the primary responsibility for child support rests with the parents--in single parent families the absent parent must contribute; (2) an able-bodied mother has the responsibility to work at least part time; and (3) if these mothers are to work, job training, child care, and transition services must be provided. Twenty-one witnesses testified on these issues, especially on the impact they would have on public finances and on the target population. Testimony and prepared written statements are included from welfare recipients, social service organizations, and public officials. (VM)
