A new wave of welfare reform is moving forward at a time in history when the nation needs to reevaluate both the older and the more recent approaches for assuring income to families which are unable to earn an adequate minimum income on their own. This article briefly describes various types of income-maintenance programs now in operation in the United States and several that appear worth investigating for possible adoption. It raises and discusses interrelated and often conflicting policy issues involved in evaluating proposals for new programs or reforming old ones. Finally, it discusses policy issues involved in evaluating welfare reform proposals from a broader perspective, which is necessary in light of the increasing interrelation of various income maintenance programs and their spillover effects on the total income-maintenance system
