[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about metrics from the outset when the welfare payments start and tracking the results and putting incentives and dis-incentives in place to meet goals, not send a check through the mail for XX years unaudited? [/quote] We do that already. Your state does it. Federal law requires re-determinations of eligibility for Medicaid on an annual basis, and for SNAP it's every six months. TANF has broader state discretion, but no one is allowed to have TANF benefits for more than 60 months in an adult lifetime. Some states make it even less than that. Ever since the TANF law passed in 96, we've cut welfare rolls in half. Most of the fraud that occurs with social safety net programs isn't from the recipient, but from providers like grocery stores, landlords, and doctors. The rich people. [/quote]
