	LWVCA: Children at Risk
		Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) was set up during this period to ensure that children of poverty- stricken families received monthly assistance.
		For example-some children are cared for during the morning half of the day in one facility, and in another for the afternoon, many situations change daily, and there is no way to know how many children are cared for by relatives, friends and neighbors.
		Children in these part-day programs may be cared for in other child care settings during the remainder of the day so their parents can work.

		Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) is the forrmer name for a welfare program administered by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
		Under the name Aid to Dependent Children (ADC), it was created by the Social Security Act of 1935 as part of the New Deal; the words "families with" were added to the name in 1960.
		In 1996, President Bill Clinton negotiated with the Republican-controlled United States Congress to pass legislation which drastically remade the program — among other things, by imposing a lifetime limit of five years on the receipt of benefits therefrom.

		If such a dependent child of the recipient fails to maintain enrollment or show academic progress, the welfare division shall suspend the benefits unless it determines that under the particular circumstances the suspension is not appropriate and sets forth a written explanation of this determination which includes a plan for corrective action.
		The welfare division shall establish by regulation a program which, as a condition of receiving aid, requires every recipient of aid to families with dependent children to be responsible for seeing that each dependent child for whom the recipient is receiving benefits has received the standard childhood immunizations required for that child.
		Within 6 months after a determination of eligibility for aid, a recipient shall submit to the division proof that all dependent children for whom the recipient is receiving benefits have received their standard childhood immunizations.

	Aid to Families With Dependent Children
		One of the most important public assistance programs for young children is the Aid to Families With Dependent Children (AFDC) jointly sponsored by the states and the federal government.
		AFDC is designed to help poor children and their parents or caregivers--usually a single family---meet the child's basic need for clothing, shoes, soap, and other essential non-food items.
		The states pay thirty percent of the cost for AFDC and establish the level of benefits, while the federal government is responsible for the remaining seventy percent.

		The family's place of residence, burial plots, and funeral agreements valued up to $1,500 are excluded from this resource limit as is that amount of equity in an automobile.
		AFDC benefit payment costs are matched under a formula which takes into account a state's per capita income relative to national per capita income.
		The federal matching rate for AFDC benefits may range from 50 percent for states with the highest per capita income to 83 percent for the state with the lowest per capita income.

	Analysis of the 1995-96 Budget Bill: Aid to Families With Dependent Children
		Children are eligible for grants under the AFDC-Foster Care (AFDC-FC) Program if they are living with a foster care provider under a court order or a voluntary agreement between the child's parent and a county welfare or probation department.
		In summary, the relatively low level of education and employment experience of the typical AFDC parent, combined with limited job opportunities, suggests that it may not be possible for most nonworking adult AFDC recipients to fully compensate for the proposed MAP reductions by obtaining a job in the private sector.
		The Governor's proposal for two-year time-limited aid is essentially an extension of his proposal to reduce grants by 7.7 percent and 15 percent.

		However, families who meet the AFDC eligibility criteria prior to welfare reform will be eligible for Medicaid.
		As under pre-reform law, if a family loses Medicaid eligibility because of employment or receipt of support payments or employment and received Medicaid in three of the preceding six months, the family is eligible for a period of extended Medicaid benefits.
		Because the AFDC cash assistance program is eliminated, welfare reform provides that any reference in Title XIX to an AFDC provision or an AFDC State Plan will be considered a reference to the AFDC provision or plan in effect for the State on July 16, 1996, i.e.

		When child support orders go to parents on Aid to Families with Dependent Children, the money is paid to the state child support office.
		Laurie Casey, a senior policy analyst with the Children's Rights Council, a national advocacy group that pushes joint custody, estimates that as much as 90 percent of the child support currently paid through these programs would be paid even absent all the government muscle.
		While the specific figure is hard to calculate, House staffers and child support lawyers I talked to said the same: For most fathers with any means to pay, a simple court order (if even that) would suffice to get fair child support payments, and the bureaucracy might be benefiting no one but the bureaucrats.
