Welfare-to-Work Grants; Performance Bonus Criteria

The Department of Labor (DOL) is responsible for administering Welfare-to-Work Grants as authorized by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. This includes developing a formula and accompanying guidelines for awarding bonuses to successfully performing States. The Act stipulates that bonuses are to be awarded in FY 2000 and based on the performance of each State that is a Welfare-to-Work State in 1998 and 1999. DOL has consulted with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the National Governors' Association (NGA), the American Public Human Services Association (APHSA)--formerly American Public Welfare Association (APWA), and State and local welfare and workforce officials in drafting these guidelines.
