The Implementation of Welfare Reform Policy
This study examines the extent to which staff in local welfare systems have embraced new welfare reform goals and, if so, the extent to which local management practices contribute to the alignment of staff priorities with policy objectives. It looks at agency structure and several aspects of public management from a microperspective that prior research has linked to agency performance including training, performance monitoring, staff resources, l…
Changing The “Culture” Of Welfare Offices
This article examines whether the 1996 welfare reform has led to the culture change in welfare offices advocated by welfare leaders and administrators. Examining a sample of state and local welfare systems, it asks whether and how welfare organizations are seeking to change their culture or, if not their culture, at least some of the structures and processes of their welfare systems. After unpacking the concept of culture in the context of welfar…
Achieving Goal Congruencein Complex Environments
Public management and implementation scholars suggest that congruence between the formal goals of policy officials and the operative goals of implementing agencies may be a prerequisite for the achievement of policy objectives. Substantial research also suggests that the achievement of goal congruence can be difficult in complex implementation contexts. In this article, we compare aspects of the government and management of organizations deliveri…
Watching the Race
States do seem to compete in making welfare policy. This competition, however, does not drive states inexorably toward a race to the bottom. Instead, this competition is a political rivalry of the kind that leads to unpredictable and unstable outcomes. This rivalry entails interstate learning and results in adaptation, but it stems from its political utility in appealing to voters and gaining personal recognition in the political arena

A lesson from the Jobs program
The Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS) program created by the Family Support Act (FSA) of 1988 made considerable progress in expanding opportunities for welfare recipients to go to school, train for employment, and seek work. Yet federal and state officials sought further welfare reform because they were impatient with a program that was costly and produced little evidence of positive outcomes; they realized that the FSA did not a…
Implementing Jobs
States have confronted both opportunities and challenges as they implement the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS) program, a federally mandated welfare employment program that provides education, training, and employment services to recipients of Aid to Families with Dependent Children. Drawing on findings from a 10-state, three-year study on JOBS implementation, this article highlights issues in funding, service availability, chi…
The Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training Program and Child Care
In enacting the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training program (JOBS), Congress recognized that the participation of many mothers with young children would depend on child care. In this article, we consider how 10 states initially responded to the child-care provisions of the legislation. Although many state administrators perceived both the supply and funding of child care as adequate at the time of the study, most viewed child care as a qu…
Jobs Implementation in 1991
The Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training Program (JOBS), enacted by the Family Support Act of 1988, provides an array of services intended to increase the earning capacity and labor-force participation of welfare recipients. Because the law gives states discretion in creating JOBS programs, a ten-state, three-year study of JOBS implementation is under way. During federal fiscal year 1991, the first year in which all states must operate JOB…
The Family Support Act
The Family Support Act of 1988 has been described as representing a new national consensus on the nature of the social contract between the state and the dependent poor. An analysis of the development of enabling legislation in New York State, however, reveals profound discord over the design of its employment and training program. While the debate is couched in terms of programmatic issues, it is actually a clash over fundamental ideological que…
Intergovernmental Influences on Medicaid Program Expenditures
The Deductibility of State and Local Taxes
This paper explores a number of possible arguments for taking state and local tax payments into account in the federal income tax base. Traditional arguments regarding benefit spillovers and tax exporting are more consistent with targeted intervention at a less centralized level. Applications of commodity tax arguments to this setting suggest that there could be equity gains to taxing rather than subsidizing at least property tax payments. Yet, t…

Work Requirements in Income-Conditioned Transfer Programs
Work requirements in transfer programs can take a variety of forms depending on who are subject to them, the efforts that recipients must make to find work, the jobs they must accept, and the penalties for noncompliance. Evidence suggests that the work requirements in the AFDC and food stamp programs are not effective, in that their cost exceeds both the savings in government expenditures and the increase in recipients' earnings. President Carter…
