Summary
TABLE OF CONTENTS: Title I: Reducing Illegitimacy Title II: Requiring Work Title III: Capping the Aggregate Growth of Welfare Spending Title IV: Restricting Welfare for Aliens Title V: Consolidating Food Assistance Programs Title VI: Expanding Statutory Flexibility of States Title VII: Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients Title VIII: Effective Date Personal Responsibility Act of 1995 - Title I: Reducing Illegitimacy - Expresses the sense of the Congress with regard to the importance of marriage as a social institution and the negative consequences of out-of-wedlock births, declaring that the reduction of such births is an important government interest. (Sec. 101) Amends parts A (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) (AFDC), D (Child Support and Establishment of Paternity), and E (Foster Care and Adoption Assistance) of title IV of the Social Security Act (SSA) to generally deny AFDC to families on whose behalf an AFDC application is made after the effective date of this title for a dependent child whose paternity has not been established, unless the child was conceived through rape or incest, or efforts to establish paternity would result in physical danger to the child or relative claiming such aid. Allows AFDC payments if such relative alleges that any of up to three named individuals may have fathered the child, provides their addresses, and the State has not disproved the allegation. States that denial of AFDC benefits shall have no effect on the family's eligibility for Medicaid and foster care and adoption assistance. (Sec. 102) Requires unwed mothers under age 19 to live at home or in another adult-supervised living arrangement in order to receive AFDC. (Sec. 103) Requires State officers or employees, as soon as they become aware, in the performance of official duties, of a pregnant, unmarried individual, to warn the individual of ineligibility for State aid unless she informs the State of the prospective father's identity and cooperates in establishing the child's paternity. Calls for States to: (1) develop procedures in public hospitals and clinics to facilitate the acknowledgement of paternity; and (2) establish legal procedures that permit the establishment of paternity as quickly and easily as possible. (Sec. 104) Increases the State paternity establishment percentage. (Sec. 105) Denies, generally, AFDC to a child born out-of-wedlock on or after the effective date of this title to an individual under age 18 unless afterwards such individual marries the biological father, or the biological parent with legal custody of the child marries an individual who legally adopts the child. Preserves the family's eligibility for Medicaid and foster care and adoption assistance despite reduction or denial of AFDC. (Sec. 106) Denies AFDC with respect to additional children born on or after the effective date of this title to an AFDC recipient or to an individual who received AFDC at any time during the ten-month period ending with the birth of the child, unless the recipient or individual was pregnant with the child when applying for AFDC. Preserves the family's eligibility for Medicaid and foster care and adoption assistance despite reduction or denial of AFDC. (Sec. 107) Gives States the option of denying AFDC (but without effect on eligibility for Medicaid and foster care and adoption assistance) to individuals aged 18, 19, or 20 who have a child out-of- wedlock after the effective date of this title, as well as to an out- of-wedlock child of such an individual, unless, after the child's birth, such individual marries the biological father, the biological parent with legal custody of the child marries an individual who legally adopts the child, or the individual is the biological and custodial parent of another child not born out-of-wedlock. Allows States the option of denying housing benefits to the same individuals unless the same conditions are met, or Federal housing assistance eligibility is based on any household member's disability or handicap of a household member. (Sec. 108) Adds under SSA title IV a new part C (Grants for Assistance to Children Born Out-of-Wedlock) for giving qualified States the flexibility and resources necessary to provide appropriate non-abortion related services and activities to discourage out-of- wedlock births and to care for children born out-of-wedlock through such initiatives as promoting adoption and establishing and operating group homes and orphanages. Requires the Comptroller General to report to the Congress on whether illegitimacy rates have changed as a result of this Act, and on State efforts under such new grant program. (Sec. 109) Prohibits any agency or entity that receives Federal assistance, and is involved in adoption or foster care placements, from: (1) denying to any person the opportunity to become an adoptive or a foster parent on the basis of the race, color, or national origin of the person, or of the child, involved; and (2) delaying or denying the placement of a child for adoption or into foster care, or otherwise discriminating in making a placement decision on such basis. Title II: Requiring Work - Amends SSA title IV part A to require State AFDC plans to require AFDC recipients to participate for a certain number of hours per week in a work supplementation or community work experience program under SSA title IV part F (Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training Program), or in any other work program established by the State and, under certain circumstances, in job search activities in order to move adult welfare recipients from welfare dependency to paid employment as quickly as possible. (Sec. 202) Provides for a reduction in AFDC in cases of noncompliance with work requirements, and for eventual termination of AFDC for repeated noncompliance. Terminates AFDC to any adult recipient after five years. Grants States the option of terminating AFDC after two years. Makes various specified changes relating to unemployed parents, with the option to limit the AFDC-UP program extended to all States. Eliminates certain JOBS program rules. Expresses the sense of the Congress that each State that operates an AFDC program is encouraged to assign the highest priority to requiring families that include older preschool or school-age children to participate in a work program. (Sec. 203) Revises work supplementation program provisions, among other changes, giving States the authority to use sums that would otherwise be expended for food stamp benefits to provide subsidized jobs for participants. (Sec. 204) Provides for payments to States for certain individuals receiving State food assistance who perform work on behalf of the State or a political subdivision through a work program. Title III: Capping the Aggregate Growth of Welfare Spending - Limits the total amount of Federal spending for AFDC, supplemental security income (SSI), housing aid, and other specified welfare programs beginning in FY 1996 to the total amount of Federal spending for the preceding fiscal year on those programs, adjusted for inflation and change of the poverty population. (Sec. 301) Requires: (1) the joint explanatory statement accompanying a conference report on a budget resolution to include allocations to each committee based on such spending cap; and (2) reconciliation directives to specify reductions for each committee necessary to comply with such caps. (Sec. 302) Terminates all entitlements of individuals to benefits, and of States to payments, under SSA's AFDC, child support enforcement, and SSI programs effective October 1, 1995. (Sec. 303) Requires all savings from welfare spending limits to be used for deficit reduction. Title IV: Restricting Welfare for Aliens - Makes aliens (with exceptions for refugees, elderly lawful residents, and current eligible residents) ineligible for specified public assistance programs, except for emergency medical services. (Sec. 402) Amends SSA title IV part A to require State AFDC agencies to provide the Immigration and Naturalization Service with information on illegal aliens. Title V: Consolidating Food Assistance Programs - Repeals the Food Stamp Act of 1977, the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983, the Hunger Prevention Act of 1988, the National School Lunch Act, the Commodity Distribution Reform Act and WIC Amendments of 1987, and other specified Federal laws and replaces them with a: (1) State food assistance block grant program to provide food assistance to economically disadvantaged individuals and families; and (2) new food coupon program. (Sec. 503) Authorizes the Secretary and the Commodity Credit Corporation to sell surplus commodities and foodstuffs to the States to provide food assistance to eligible populations. Title VI: Expanding Statutory Flexibility of States - Amends SSA title IV part A to grant States the option of: (1) converting their AFDC payments into a fixed annual block grant; (2) treating new residents under the rules of the former State; (3) reducing AFDC payments for parents under age 21 who have not completed high school or earned their high school equivalency; (4) providing for a married couple transition benefit under certain conditions; (5) disregarding income and resources designated for education, training, and employability, or related to self-employment; and (6) requiring attendance at parenting and money management classes, and prior approval of any action that would result in a change of school for a dependent child. Title VII: Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients - Amends SSA title IV part A to require AFDC recipients to undergo necessary substance abuse treatment as a condition of receiving AFDC. Title VIII: Effective Date - Sets forth the effective date of this Act.
