What's new: The number of poor families receiving welfare checks has dipped slightly statewide even as the number of households receiving food stamps has climbed in the recession. New Jersey had 36,589 families -- most headed by single mothers - - getting Temporary Assistance for Needy Families in June, down 2.5 percent from June 2008. In Bergen County, the number rose 2.6 percent, to 1,112 families; in Passaic County it fell 8 percent, to 3,116.
Every revolutionary can rhythmically chant, "It's not about what they call you it's about what you answer to," but when we answer to so many different names these days - pimps, ballers, and shotcallers - the concept of self-definition proves elusive. Take, for instance, the name "hip-hop." There exists a hip-hop label for the generation that seemingly extends to everyone from 15-year-old acne-faced adolescents to the 45-plus-year-old entertainment guru Russell Simmons. There are efforts to register "hip-hop voters" - that nebulous demographic of 18- to 35-year-olds who move easily within a universe of blogs and bottled water. But the true essence of hip-hop lies in more significant numbers - specifically, numbers totaling 500 billion. As in 500 billion US dollars. According to a new rep...

By Kartikay Mehrotrakartikay.mehrotra@lee.net SPRINGFIELD - A struggling Illinois economy has made a record number of Illinois families eligible for food stamps and forced even more new and single mothers to seek federal assistance for money to put food on the table.

An additional $6 billion over five years for child care is a lot even for Congress, but it is not the only number the Senate should study as it considers reauthorizing Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. It should look also at the numbers in studies that show how success rates shoot up, helping people find permanent work with decent wages, if the government begins by making a larger investment in the outcome. The Economic Policy Institute, for instance, found that single mothers who receive child-care assistance are 40 percent more likely to be employed after two years than those who did not. Yet the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities found that by 2008 the new rules proposed by the House would cause states to lose 361,000 places even without counting increased work requirements.

In what critics described as a plan that would drive many Californians into abject poverty, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Friday proposed an $83.4 billion budget that eliminates the nation's largest welfare program, makes deep cuts to in-home care services and shifts thousands of state prisoners to county jails. Facing a $19.1 billion deficit, Schwarzenegger's revised budget eliminates CalWORKS, the state's welfare-to-work program that provides monthly checks to 1.4million people, two-thirds of them children.

With Republicans in control of Congress and the White House, the obvious solution might have been to declare welfare reform a success and leave the law unchanged. The biggest change is a requirement that the number of people receiving Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) without engaging in "work-related activities" should be no more than half a state's 2005 caseload. Unlike the official poverty count, our estimates subtract taxes from income and add the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), food stamps, and the estimated value of school lunches and housing subsidies.
