Welfare Reform: Implementing DOT's Access to Jobs Program
Author:
Publisher:

Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 dramatically altered the nation's system for providing assistance to the poor. Among the many changes, the act replaced the existing entitlement program for poor families (Aid to Families With Dependent Children) with fixed block grants to the states to provide Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). TANF imposes work requirements on adults and establishes time limits on the receipt of federal assistance. However, for welfare recipients trying to move from welfare to work, a lack of transportation to the places of employment can pose significant barriers. Existing public transportation systems cannot always transport low-income people from their homes to the entry-level jobs they would likely fill. Many of these jobs are located in suburbs beyond the reach of public transportation, or they require shift work in the evenings or on weekends when public transportation is unavailable or limited.

Implementing JOBS : the Initial Design and Structure of Local Programs
Author: Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780914341321
Category : Occupational training
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
During summer 1991, a study reviewed efforts of local agencies to implement the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills (JOBS) Program. Three local sites in each of 10 states were examined. The field research showed that formal client flowcharts designed by the states and local sites were not yet fully operational and often did not describe actual practice. All state welfare agencies established some linkages between JOBS and other education, training, and employment programs to build program capacity to provide JOBS services, although the degree of interagency coordination and program integration varied considerably by state. States made widely varying efforts to fund JOBS. States' choices regarding the mix of services financed with JOBS funds varied considerably. Most states used JOBS funds to finance job readiness activities and adult education. Many states also financed job search; a smaller number used JOBS funds to support job skills training and work experience; and still fewer supported on-the-job training and work supplementation. Local sites generally designed their new JOBS components to meet the 20-hour rule. The Job Training Partnership Act played a major role, serving as the lead JOBS agency in half of the local sites. The majority of the sites were not making strong efforts to enforce the federal mandate that Aid for Families with Dependent Children recipients participate in JOBS. Twelve tables and four figures are included and state profiles are appended. (Contains 26 references.) (YLB)
