1. All welfare recipaints must be making an honest attempt to gain employment and/or training/school in a field of study relevant to their career.
2. All welfare recipiants must report to a designated Welfare Office no less that 1 day each week to report and advise on employment status
3. If needed, reduced cost (not free) child-care can be provided so the parent(s) can work, un-hindered.
4. Welfare is available to all US Citizens or Legal Immigrants, who have paid taxes during the previous fiscal year (key words being "Legal" and "Citizen")
5. Convictions of drugs, violence (exluding self-defense) and/or theft of any type or nature will result and in immediate suspension of benefits for a period of no less than 2 years. Also a Welfare Case Review Panel can order a percentage or all welfare benefits collected to be returned, either thru monetary means or services.
6. All welfare benefits will cease after 6 months. If an extenion is needed, cases of severe hardship must be verified on a case-by-case basis by a Welfare Case Review Panel. If severe hardship cannot be determined, the recepiant may re-apply for benefits no sooner than 18 months after expiration.
7. Only 1 person per house-hold can claim welfare (this is to stop switching back-and-forth between recipants should benefits be denied, declined, or expired)
8. Pregnacy after benefits start, are grounds for suspension of benefits, subject to review by a Welfare Case Review Panel. If you can afford to have a kid, you don't need to be on Welfare.
