Welfare-to-Work Amendments of 1999

Summary

Amends part A (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) (TANF) of title IV of the Social Security Act with regard to Welfare-to-Work grants to States. Changes from mandatory to discretionary the authority of a project grantee to expend its funds for the benefit of TANF recipients. Specifies such recipients as hard-to-employ. Revises their eligibility criteria, adding homeless and disabled individuals as well as victims of domestic violence. Prescribes criteria for the provision of project funds to assist certain noncustodial parents to participate in employment or related activities that will enable them to make regular child support payments. Prescribes requirements for such recipients, including an oral or written personal responsibility contract containing certain conditions. Authorizes Welfare-to-Work projects to assist children between ages 18 and 25 who have received foster care maintenance payments. Makes vocational educational or job training for up to six months an allowable activity. Permits certain grantees which are not private industry councils or workforce investment boards to provide Welfare-to-Work employment services directly. Repeals the requirement for quarterly State data reports on the Welfare-to-Work program. Reduces the set-aside under provisions for grants for successful performance bonuses.
