Welfare Reform / Count~ Work First Block Grant Plan - Mr. Jim Cook Mr. Jim Cook, Social Services Director, reported the proposed Welfare Reform/County Work First Block Grant Plan was placed on display throughout the county for public comment on January 12 - 17. He recommended the following modifications to the Plan in response to comments from Legal Services of the Southern Piedmont and the American Civil Liberties Union: 1) 2) Delete the existing item VII.C.4. on page 15, and add new wording to the effect that "Individuals who are not exempt from work registration must register with 1st Stop before being approved for Work First Assistance." Delete the existing item VII.G. on page 19 and add new wording to the effect that "The State appeals system will be used in all instances except those arising from policies unique to the county. For those issues, a system identical to the State system will be used, except that the second level appeal will be heard by a local attorney or other impartial person engaged by the County to serve as Hearings Officer." UPON MOTION of Commissioner Mills, seconded by Commissioner Barnhart and unanimously carried, the Board took the following action: (1) thanked the Welfare Reform Planning Committee for its work; (2) approved the submission of the County Work First Block Grant Plan with the modifications as prsented by Mr. Cook and with the stipulations and understandings as set forth below; (3) agreed to request the County's legislative delegation to seek an extension of the Work Over Welfare Program, an addition of pay for performance provisions and a broadening of coverage to all Work First Program recipients; (4) agreed to request the County's delegation support measures which would remove the risks and costs associated with electing status; and (5) agreed to schedule a review of the County's requested status prior to the General Assembly's action on the State Work First Program Block Grant Plan this summer. Stipulations: 1) Assistance Payments: To protect them from an unfair financial risk~ electing counties must be permitted to draw funding for assistance payments from the same pool of funding used by standard counties if their funding requirements for assistance payments exceed their block grants. This should be the case except where the excessive costs have resulted from the county's having set eligibility or payment policies more liberal than the policies for standard counties. 2) Community Work Experience Requirement. As it would be prohibitively expensive and perhaps impossible for electing counties to meet the requirement that they provide community work experience for all able-bodied adults who cannot find work, this program component must be made optional for electing counties as it is for standard counties.
