On the recordJuly 19, 1996
this amendment states that if that parent is currently receiving welfare benefits and has been for the last 3 years, then the minor may not receive cash benefits. If the parent is currently receiving welfare, and the minor child is herself alone living at home, then we are requiring that three generations of welfare recipients live under one roof. My amendment would ensure that when we require three generations of welfare recipients to live under one roof, and there is a clear history of welfare dependency in that household, then we will only send one cash check. My amendment is not intended to reduce benefits, and it does not prohibit the State from providing assistance in any noncash form--food, whatever. The amendment simply would limit the amount of cash that is given to households with three generations of welfare where there is a clear history of welfare dependency.
