        individual who is a parent or other caretaker relative of a 
        dependent child and a representative of the State agency shall, 
        at the time of application for aid under part A, sign a 
        personal responsibility agreement. The agreement shall, in the 
        case of individuals to whom section 417 applies, set forth in 
        clear terms, understandable by all parties, an acknowledgment 
        that aid under the State plan is subject to a general 24-month 
        limit and should be considered transitional in nature. The 
        agreement, in all cases, should acknowledge that the goal of 
        both the individual and the State is to enable the individual 
        to achieve maximum economic independence and self sufficiency. 
        To this end, the individual will participate in appropriate 
        activities, and the State will furnish necessary enabling 
        services and assistance.

        employment information required by subsection (c) as promptly

        individuals to whom section 417 applies, the information shall 
        be provided in person, on either an individual or group basis, 
        and the State agency shall obtain written confirmation from the 
        individual that the individual received and understood the

                section 402(a)(19)(D) applies, conduct an assessment of 
                the educational, child care, and other supportive 
                services needs, as well as the skills, literacy, prior 
                work experience and employability of each participant 
                in the JOBS program, including a review of the family 
                circumstances. The agency may also review the needs of 
                any child of the participant.

                agency and the individual shall, within 90 days from 
                the earliest date for which payment is made, jointly 
                develop an employability plan for such individual. The 
                purpose of the employability plan is to lay out the 
                fastest and most effective way to help the participant 
                find employment and become self-sufficient. The plan 
                shall indicate the overall period of time that is 
                expected to be necessary to achieve the individual's 
                employment goal, taking into consideration, in the case 
                of individuals to whom the provisions of section 417 
                apply, the maximum remaining period of time for which 
                aid may be paid to such individual under the plan 
                approved under part A. The plan will detail the 
                activities in which the individual will be expected to 
                engage in order to find employment, including job 
                search, employment training and preparation, or 
                education. The plan must be reasonable in light of the 
                individual's literacy, skills, and needs, and the 
                resources and opportunities for employment (including 
                self-employment) within the community where the 
                individual resides, and shall, to the maximum extent 
                possible and consistent with this section, reflect the 
                preferences of such individual. The employability plan

                services and assistance which the State agency will 
                provide in order to allow the individual to take full 
                advantage of the activities under the program operated 
                under this part, and the steps the individual should 
                take to bring promptly to the attention of the State 
                agency any difficulties the individual is encountering 
                in participating in the program under this part. The 
                employability plan shall not be considered a contract.
                    ``(iii) The State plan shall provide that, if an 
                individual works an average of 20 hours a week (or such 
                greater number, but not more than 30, as the State plan 
                may provide) or more in a position of employment, work 
                in such position shall constitute the primary activity 
                under such individual's employability plan.

                for a review mechanism that will be available should 
                the individual and the State agency be unable to agree 
                on the content of the employability plan. The review 
                process shall, at the least, provide for prompt

                responsibilities than the person with whom the 
                individual is in disagreement to provide further 
                negotiation support. If agreement still cannot be 
                reached, the State agency shall, in accordance with 
                regulations of the Secretary, afford the individual 
                access to arbitration or a mediation process, to a more 
                formal review or hearing, or to a combination of such 
                processes.

        activities has been found appropriate under section 
        402(a)(19)(D) shall jointly develop an employability plan. The 
        plan shall place primary emphasis on the activities in which 
        the individual is able to engage that, together with any 
        services provided by the State, will best prepare the 
        individual for full participation in the program under this 
        part. Plans under this paragraph are not subject to the 
        procedures of paragraph (2).
            ``(4) Case manager.--The State agency may assign a case 
        manager to each participant and the participant's family who 
        will be responsible for assisting the family to obtain any 
        services which may be needed to assure effective participation 
        in the program.
            ``(5) Periodic assessment.--At such intervals as the State 
        agency finds appropriate, but not less frequently than once 
        every 6 months, a representative of the State agency and the 
        individual shall conduct a review of the individual's 
        employability plan (including the plan of an individual to whom 
        paragraph (3) applies) and the progress that is being made to 
        achieve the goals set in the plan. The State agency shall 
        consider, in conducting the assessment, whether an individual 
        participating in activities under section 402(a)(19)(D) has 
        become ready to participate in the program under this part, or 
        whether an individual required to participate under this part 
        should no longer be so required and instead should participate 
        in such activities. If it is concluded that there should be any 
        such change in status, the individual's employability plan 
        shall be revised accordingly effective with the month following 
        the month in which the revision is made. In the case of an 
        individual participating in the program under this part, the 
        assessment shall specifically address both the individual's 
        participation and the State agency's delivery of services as 
        agreed to in the employability plan. If it is found in the 
        course of an assessment that there has been a substantial 
        failure to provide services to the recipient in accordance with 
        the employability plan, the plan (or some other State agency 
        record) must document that finding, and the period during which 
        the failure occurred.
            ``(6) Revision of employability plan.--The employability 
        plan may be revised as necessary following an assessment under 
        paragraph (5) or at any other time that events warrant it, upon 
        the agreement of the individual and the State agency. If there 
        is disagreement about the need for revision, or the respects in 
        which the plan will be revised or the new content of the plan, 
        the procedures described in paragraph (2)(B) will be 
        applicable.
            ``(7) The State agency may require that, in the case of an 
        individual described in section 402(a)(19)(B) and whose 
        employability plan, including an employability plan under 
        paragraph (3), reflects the need for treatment for substance 
        abuse, such individual participate in substance abuse treatment 
        that is available without charge to the individual. The State 
        plan may, notwithstanding any other provision of law, make 
        applicable to any individual required to participate in such 
        treatment activities the provisions of section 402(a)(19)(G), 
        and if so, shall advise the individual of the consequences of 
        failure or refusal to accept treatment,
    ``(b) Transition to WORK Program.--(1) The State agency shall 
schedule a meeting with each individual subject to the time limit under 
section 417, with adequate advance notice to the individual, not later 
than 90 days prior to the first month for which such individual will 
become ineligible for aid under part A by reason of such time limit. 
The State agency shall evaluate the individual's progress under the 
employability plan, determine whether any extensions (as allowed under 
section 417) are necessary and available, and advise the individual 
about the job search requirement (described in paragraph (2)) and the 
steps that must be taken thereafter to register for the program under 
part G. If a meeting is held with the individual in connection with a 
redetermination of eligibility, periodic assessment, or for any other 
purpose, within the 6-month period preceding the first month of 
ineligibility by reason of section 417, the State agency may take the 
steps required by this paragraph at such meeting in satisfaction of 
this requirement.
    ``(2) Not later than 45 days prior to the close of the twenty-
fourth month of receipt of aid under part A (or, at the option of the 
State, at an earlier date after the twenty-first month of receipt of 
such aid), the individual shall be required to engage in job search to 
the extent consistent with the goals of such individual's employability 
plan. Engaging in job search for the period of time required by the 
State under the preceding sentence shall be a prerequisite to receipt 
of a work assignment under the WORK program established and operated 
under part G. For purposes of this subparagraph, `month of receipt of 
aid under part A' shall not include any month prior to the first month 
in which this subparagraph was in effect.
    ``(3) References to applicants, or to actions that must occur at 
the time of application or from the earliest date for which payment is 
made, in the amendments made by this section, shall be construed to 
include references to recipients, and actions that must occur at the 
time of the first redetermination of eligibility by a State for aid to 
families with dependent children occurring after the effective date of 
such amendments in such State.''.

        would violate the requirements relating to nondisplacement, 
        wages, benefits, or working conditions under this title, such 
        organization may, as an alternative to the grievance procedures 
        provided pursuant to subsection (b), file a complaint pursuant

        expedited procedure that such placement would not be in 
        violation of this title.
    ``(d) In assigning participants in the JOBS program under this part 
to any program activity, the State agency shall, in addition to the 
assurances required under subsection (a), assure that--

SEC. 104. TWENTY-FOUR MONTH LIMIT.

    Part A of title IV of the Social Security Act is amended by 
redesignating section 417 as section 419 and adding after and below 
section 416 the following new section:

``SEC. 417. TWENTY-FOUR MONTH LIMIT.

    ``(a) Limitation.--(1) In General.--Notwithstanding any other 
provision of law, a State plan approved under this part must provide 
that, except as otherwise provided in this title, aid to families with 
dependent children will not be payable to an individual to whom section 
402(a)(19)(B) (i) or (ii) applies or to individuals who have choses to 
participate in the program under part F and to whom the State has 
elected under section 402(a)(19)(C) to apply this section, or to his or 
her dependent child or children living in the same home with such 
individual for any month after the twenty-fourth month (whether or not 
such months are consecutive) for which such individual has, together 
with his or her dependent child or children, received aid under the 
State's plan, or under the plan of any other State, approved under this 
part. The limitation in the preceding sentence shall not apply to (A) 
an individual who has received such aid for 24 months and who is 
working to the extent described in clause (IV) or (V) of paragraph 
(2)(B)(i), whichever may be applicable, or (B) an individual's 
dependent child or children if they are living with another relative 
specified in section 406(a)(1) who is not subject to, or has not 
received aid for months in excess of, the limit prescribed by, this 
section.
    ``(2) Applicability.--In applying paragraph (1)--
            ``(A) if an individual has previously received aid under a 
        State plan approved under this part for more than 18 months, 
        the number of months for which an individual is considered to 
        have previously been paid aid under such a State plan shall be 
        reduced by one month for every period of four months throughout 
        which no such aid was paid, and no wages under the program 
        under part G were paid but such number of months shall never be 
        reduced to fewer than 18 (regardless of whether such periods of 
        four months were consecutive); and
            ``(B)(i) there shall not be included, as a month in which 
        an individual received aid under a State plan approved under 
        this part--
                    ``(I) any month prior to the first month for which 
                this section is in effect in such State, or in the case 
                of a recipient of aid in such State for the month 
                preceding such month, the first month in which such 
                individual's eligibility is redetermined by such State;
                    ``(II) any month prior to the first month in which 
                payment of aid under this part was authorized with 
                respect to such individual;
                    ``(III) any month prior to the month in which such 
                individual attains age eighteen;
                    ``(IV) any month during which the individual worked 
                20 hours a week (or such greater number, but not more 
                than 30, as the State plan under part F provides) or 
                more;
                    ``(V) any month during which the total average 
                number of hours worked per week by both parents, in a 
                family eligible by reason of section 407 and in which 
                section 402(a)(19)(D) is applicable to neither parent, 
                exceeds 30 hours (or such greater number, but not more 
                than 40, as the State plan under part F provides); or
                    ``(VI) any month during which section 402(a)(19)(D) 
                was applicable to such individual; and
            ``(ii) there shall be included each month for which aid 
        would have been paid but for the applicability to such 
        individual of a sanction under section 402(a)(19)(G) or 
        402(a)(26).
For purposes of clauses (i)(IV) and (V), there shall not be excluded 
any month in which the individual fails to accept an offer of 
additional hours of employment, or in which such individual reduces the 
hours of employment and thereby becomes eligible for additional amounts 
of aid under this part.
    ``(b) Notice to Individuals.--A State plan approved under this part 
shall provide that notice will be given to each member of a family to 
whom the time limit under subsection (a) applies, not less frequently 
than once every six months, concerning the number of months of 
eligibility remaining for each such member. The notice required by this 
subsection may be given together with the payment of aid.
    ``(c) Extension of Limit.--
            ``(1) extension by reason of failure to provide services.--
        The State agency shall extend the twenty-four-month limit 
        referred to in subsection (a) in the case of an individual who 
        has been unable to complete the education, training, or other 
        activities intended to prepare such individual for employment 
        by reason of the substantial failure of the State agency to 
        provide or arrange for the provision of child care or any other 
        service agreed upon in the individual's employability plan. A 
        finding of failure to provide services shall be based on the 
        documentation made at the semi-annual assessment (required by 
        section 482(a)(5)), together with any reports or information 
        either the individual or the State agency may have with respect 
        to the period between the assessment and the close of the 
        twenty-fourth month. The time limit shall be extended for so 
        many months as are necessary to allow the individual to 
        complete the activities agreed upon in the employability plan, 
        but in no event may such extension exceed an additional 24 
        months.
            ``(2) Extension to complete course of education.--
                    ``(A) The State agency shall extend the twenty-
                four-month limit referred to in subsection (a)--
                            ``(i) in the case of an individual 
                        receiving services under the Individuals with 
                        Disabilities Education Act, for so long as 
                        necessary to permit such individual to attain a 
                        high school education (or the equivalent) or, 
                        if sooner, until such individual reaches age 
                        22; and
                            ``(ii) in the case of an individual in a 
                        structured learning program (as defined in 
                        paragraph (4)), including a program under the 
                        School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1993, for 
                        so long as necessary to permit such individual 
                        to complete the program or, if sooner, until 
                        such individual reaches age 22.
                    ``(B) Subject to subsection (e), the State agency 
                may extend the twenty-four-month limit referred to in 
                subsection (a)--
                            ``(i) for no more than 12 additional months 
                        in order to allow an individual to complete 
                        high school (or an equivalent program of 
                        education), so long as the individual is making 
                        satisfactory progress toward obtaining a high 
                        school diploma (or equivalent);
                            ``(ii) for no more than 24 additional 
                        months in order to allow an individual to 
                        complete a post-secondary program so long as 
                        the individual is enrolled in a work-study 
                        program, or is employed at least 15 hours per 
                        week, and is making satisfactory progress 
                        toward completing a degree-granting or 
                        certificate-granting education or training 
                        program, or structured microenterprise or self-
                        employment program likely to improve the 
                        individual's economic self-sufficiency; or
                            ``(iii) for such additional number of 
                        months as it finds appropriate in any case, 
                        determined on an individual basis, where such 
                        extension is necessary to afford an individual 
                        with significant learning disabilities or other 
                        substantial barriers to employment additional 
                        time to obtain the remedial education, job 
                        skills training, or other services specified in 
                        the employability plan needed to enable the 
                        individual to secure employment.
            ``(3) Extension of employability plan.--The State agency 
        shall extend, and if appropriate revise, the employability plan 
        of each individual with respect to whom an extension is 
        provided under this subsection, and shall continue to furnish, 
        through the months of the extension, the supportive services 
        for which the extended plan provides.
            ``(4) As used in this subsection, a `structured learning 
        program' means one that begins at the secondary school level, 
        continues into a post-secondary program, and is designed to 
        lead to a degree or recognized skills certificate.
    ``(d) Exception for Transition to Unsubsidized Employment.--The 
State may, at its option, provide for continuing for one additional 
month the payment of aid to an individual (and his or her dependent 
child or children) under the State plan, notwithstanding subsection 
(a), in any case where such continued payment is necessary to assist 
the individual who is about to commence a position of employment (other 
than as a participant in the program under part G) until receipt of the 
first payment of wages. The State plan shall describe the evidence of 
employment that the State will require in order that payment may be 
continued under this subsection.
    ``(e) Limitation on Average Monthly Number of Extensions.--If the 
average monthly number of individuals with respect to whom the State 
has extended the twenty-four month limit by application of subsection 
(c)(1) or (c)(2)(B) in any fiscal year exceeds 10 percent of the 
average monthly number of individuals to whom this section applies (and 
who are required to participate in the program under part F) in the 
fiscal year involved, the provisions of section 403(k)(6) (reducing 
Federal payments under section 403(a)) shall apply, unless the 
Secretary, upon a showing by the State of extraordinary or 
unforeseeable circumstances, allows the application of such subsections 
to a greater number of individuals for a specified period of time.
    ``(f) Alternative Time Limit Demonstrations.--Notwithstanding any 
other provision of this part, the Secretary may permit not more than 
five States to conduct demonstrations to determine what effects, if 
any, application of time limits of other than twenty-four months would 
have in promoting the objectives of the part. The Secretary shall 
approve a demonstration only if the proposed time limit is consistent 
with both the purpose of making AFDC a transitional program and 
affording recipients with support to enable them to prepare themselves 
to obtain unsubsidized employment. Any State applying a time limit 
other than that specified in subsection (a) shall evaluate both the 
short and long term effects of such time limit in enabling recipients 
to become self-sufficient and shall report the results of such 
evaluation to the Secretary.''.

``SEC. 493. ELIGIBILITY FOR WORK PROGRAM; REGISTRATION.

    ``(a) Eligibility.--(1) In General.--An individual--
            ``(A) to whom section 417 applies, who has received aid 
        under the State plan approved under part A for twenty-four 
        months, and with respect to whom no extension under section 417 
        has been provided,
            ``(B) who is not an individual to whom section 
        402(a)(19)(D) applies, and

program and, upon registration and continuing compliance with the 
requirements applicable to individual's awaiting assignment to a WORK 
position, be eligible for such an assignment and, in accordance with 
the succeeding provisions of this part, a payment of aid to families 
with dependent children.
    ``(2) Special Rules.--The State plan shall specify whether one or 
both parents will be required to register with and participate in the 
WORK program as a condition of eligibility for an assignment for either 
parent under the WORK program and a payment of aid to the family, in 
the case of a family in which both parents are subject to the limit in 
section 417.
    ``(b) Registration.--The State plan shall establish a simple 
procedure under which an individual who meets the criteria of 
subsection (a) may register with and participate in the WORK program so 
that the individual will receive wages (if an appropriate assignment is 
available) or aid, or (if applicable) both, in the month following the 
final month of the time limit under section 417. The State plan must 
describe the methods that will be employed to assure the uninterrupted 
provision of aid for the family of an individual who has complied with 
all applicable requirements and conditions of this part.
    ``(c) Work Program Assessment.--The State plan shall provide for 
the prompt assessment of each individual registering with the program, 
in order to determine an appropriate assignment for such individual. 
The assessment must include a review of the individual's education, 
training, and employment experience while participating in the program 
under part F, as well as any employment experience the individual may 
have had thereafter.
    ``(d) Limitations on Assignments.--
            ``(1) Hours of work.--The State plan shall--
                    ``(A) ensure, to the extent practicable, that 
                participants' wages earned from WORK positions provide 
                on the average 75 percent of the sum of wages together 
                with aid paid to participants in the States WORK 
                program;

                average number of hours of work over any four-week 
                period that is less than 15 hours per week or greater 
                than 35 hours per week; and

                State agency shall, to the maximum extent feasible, 
                ensure that an assignment to a WORK position will not 
                interfere with any hours of unsubsidized employment in 
                which the individual is already engaged at the time of 
                the assignment.
            ``(2) Length of assignment.--An assignment to a WORK 
        position shall be for no longer than 12 months and may not be 
        reassigned to the same position.
    ``(e) Payment of Aid.--The State agency administering the State's 
plan approved under part A shall pay for each month to each family with 
an individual registered with the WORK program the amount of aid that 
would be payable to such family under such plan, except that--
            ``(1) wages earned by a family member from employment in a 
        WORK position shall not be considered in determining 
        eligibility for continued participation in the WORK program;
            ``(2) in determining the amount of aid that is payable, the 
        State agency may determine whether to disregard from the wages 
        received from the WORK position any amounts that may be 
        disregarded under section 402(a)(8)(A)(iv); and
            ``(3) if a family member has been assigned to and is 
        employed in a WORK position, the amount of the family's aid 
        will not be subject to increase by reason of the individual's 
        failure to perform the full number of hours per week for which 
        the assignment was made.
    ``(f) Treatment Under Other Laws.--
            ``(1) Individuals participating in the WORK program, and 
        their families, whether or not any aid is payable in addition 
        to wages from a WORK position, shall be considered to be 
        receiving such aid for purposes of the State's plan for medical 
        assistance approved under title XIX.

        treated as if they were wages from unsubsidized employment for 
        the purpose of any other Federal law unless it is expressly 
        provided otherwise in Federal law.
    ``(g) Program Participants.--The Secretary may by regulation 
prescribe criteria for determining when an individual's employment no 
longer constitutes participation in the WORK program.

``SEC. 494. PROVISIONS GENERALLY APPLICABLE TO WORK POSITIONS.

    ``(a) In General.--In addition to the applicable provisions of 
section 484, the conditions described in this section shall be 
applicable to WORK positions.
    ``(b) Prohibition on Contributions for Retirement Benefits.--No 
funds available under this title may be used for contributions to a 
retirement plan on behalf of any participant.
    ``(c) Exclusion from Unemployment Compensation.--The employment of 
participants under the WORK program shall not be subject to the 
provisions of any Federal or State unemployment compensation law.
    ``(d) Sick and Personal Leave.--The Secretary is authorized to 
issue regulations establishing a minimum number of hours that a 
participant may be on leave from a WORK position due to illness or 
other reasons specified by the Secretary without having the amount of 
wages payable to such participant reduced to account for such leave. In 
accordance with paragraph (1) of this subsection, the regulations shall 
provide that if the employer provides, to similarly situated regular 
employees, paid leave that is equal to or exceeds the minimum 
prescribed by the Secretary, the employer shall also provide such paid 
leave to a participant. If the employer does not provide such paid 
leave, the State agency shall implement such leave.
    ``(e) Records on Retention of Participants.--The entity 
administering the WORK program shall maintain records on the extent to 
which each employer receiving assistance under this part retains 
participants in unsubsidized employment subsequent to the completion of 
WORK assignments.

``SEC. 495. PRE-ASSIGNMENT ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES; PRIORITY OF 
              ASSIGNMENTS; POST-ASSIGNMENT ASSESSMENT

    ``(a) Assignments.--The State plan approved under this part shall 
provide for the establishment and maintenance of a registry, updated 
regularly and frequently, of all registered individuals who are 
awaiting assignment to a WORK position. The State plan shall describe 
the criteria that will generally be applied for determining the order 
in which registered individuals will be assigned to positions. Such 
criteria must provide for assigning, as promptly as an appropriate 
position becomes available, and individual to whom a sanction is being 
applied under section 496(f)(2)(A) (in the case of a first failure to 
comply with a requirement of the WORK program) or who has ended a 
period of time during which a sanction has been applied under section 
496(f)(2) (B), (C), or (D) (in the case of a second or subsequent such 
failure), and thereafter preference will be given to individuals who 
have not previously received a WORK assignment during a period of 
consecutive months while registered for the WORK program.
    ``(b) JOB Search; Other WORK Preparatory Activities.--
            ``(1)(A) Job search.--The State plan under this part shall 
        describe any requirements the State applies to individuals 
        registered for and awaiting assignment to a WORK position, 
        including the extent to which the individual must participate 
        in individual or group job search (not to exceed 35 hours per 
        week) and the period for which the job search must continue or 
        the number of contacts that must be made, or such other measure 
        as the State finds appropriate.
            ``(B) The State agency may require an individual employed 
        in a WORK position or in regular employment to engage in job 
        search but the number of hours per week of required job search 
        (or of the time needed to comply with the job search 
        requirement if measured differently from hours per week) 
        together with the hours per week for which the individual is 
        employed may not exceed 35.
            ``(C) The State agency shall require each individual who 
        has completed an assignment to perform supervised job search 
        (in accordance with the time limits established under paragraph 
        (1)) while awaiting another assignment.
            ``(2) Other activities.--If the State requires that an 
        individual registered under this part and awaiting assignment 
        to a WORK position engage in any activities in addition to job 
        search that would prepare the individual to carry out 
        successfully the assignment or otherwise support achievement of 
        the purposes of this part, the State plan shall describe those 
        activities and the maximum periods of time for which they may 
        be required (or other measure that the State finds 
        appropriate), which may not exceed 35 hours per week.
            ``(3) Child care and other supportive services.--(A) The 
        State agency shall notify each individual registered with the 
        WORK program of the availability (under sections 402(g) (1) and 
        (2)) of child care and other supportive services necessary to 
        permit the individual to participate successfully in the WORK 
        program (during both a pre-assignment period and a period of 
        employment under the WORK program).
            ``(B) A State may, at its option, provide child care and 
        other supportive services (and include an appropriate provision 
        in its plan under this part) to an individual employed in a 
        WORK position to enable or assist such individual also to 
        engage in education or training activities, approved for this 
        purpose by the State agency as likely to enhance such 
        individual's ability to secure and retain permanent, 
        unsubsidized employment, and if the State chooses to provide 
        any one or more such services under this subparagraph, shall 
        notify all registered individuals who are potentially eligible 
        therefor of the availability of such services.
    ``(c) Comprehensive Post-Assignment Assessment.--The State agency 
shall conduct a comprehensive assessment of each individual registered 
with the WORK program after every second assignment completed by such 
individual (or of an individual who has been registered for two years). 
On the basis of this assessment, the State may--
            ``(1) reassign the individual to activities under section 
        402(a)(19)(D) or to the JOBS program (for such period of 
        training and other activities as may be appropriate), or
            ``(2) assign the individual to another WORK position if the 
        individual was unable to find unsubsidized employment either 
        because there were no jobs available that such individual had 
        the necessary skills to fill or because such individual is 
        incapable of working outside of a sheltered environment.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in such cases where the State 
finds that the individual is employable and living in an area where 
there are jobs available to match the individual's skills, the State 
may require the individual to engage in intensive job search, 
supervised by a job developer who may require the individual to apply 
for appropriate job openings to determine if the individual is making a 
good faith effort to find unsubsidized employment. An individual who 
fails without good cause to apply for appropriate job openings, 
cooperate with the job developer or employer, or accept a private 
sector job opening, shall be ineligible for aid under part A or an 
assignment under the State's WORK program for 6 months. Following such 
a period of ineligibility, the State shall reassess such individual's 
status, and may take such steps under this subsection as it finds 
appropriate.

``SEC. 496. FAILURE TO MEET WORK PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS.

    ``(a) Actions That Constitute Failure To Meet WORK Program 
Requirements.--The following actions, without good cause, constitute 
failure by an individual to meet the requirements of the WORK program--
            ``(1) failing or refusing to accept a bona fide offer of 
        unsubsidized employment of at least 20 hours per week (or less 
        if the offered employment meets the criteria specified in 
        section 482(d)(2));
            ``(2) failing or refusing to accept or report for a WORK 
        position to which the individual has been assigned;
            ``(3) voluntarily leaving such a position; or
            ``(4) failing or refusing to engage, to the extent required 
        under the State plan, in the job search or other activities 
        required pursuant to section 495 or subsection (e).
    ``(b) Misconduct Resulting in Discharge From WORK Position.--In 
addition to the actions described in subsection (a), a participant will 
be deemed to have failed to meet the requirements of the WORK program 
if, prior to the completion of an assignment, such participant is 
discharged by an employer from a WORK position due to misconduct.
    ``(c) Definitions of Good Cause and Misconduct.--The Secretary 
shall issue regulations establishing criteria for determining what 
constitutes good cause for purposes of subsections (a) and (g) and 
misconduct for purposes of subsection (b). Such regulations shall, at a 
minimum, include--
            ``(1) with respect to the actions described in paragraph 
        (3) of subsection (a), a requirement that a participant 
        voluntarily leaving a WORK position promptly notify the entity 
        administering the WORK program of the reasons for leaving; and
            ``(2) with respect to discharge for misconduct, a provision 
        allowing the State, with the approval of the Secretary, to 
        apply the criteria relating to misconduct applicable to the 
        disqualification of an individual for benefits under the State 
        unemployment compensation law.
    ``(d) Opportunity for Hearing.--The State plan shall provide 
advance notice to an individual when the State agency determines that a 
sanction should be imposed, and shall advise the individual of the 
right to a hearing. The State agency shall provide a hearing, upon 
request by the individual, in accordance with procedures established by 
the Secretary (which shall allow the State to adopt procedures followed 
in hearings on unemployment compensation claims that meet the standards 
set forth by the United States Supreme Court in Goldberg v. Kelly, 397 
U.S. 254 (1970).).
    ``(e) Interim Activities.--The State agency may require, pending 
the hearing referred to in subsection (d), participation by the 
individual in appropriate activities under the WORK program.
    ``(f) Sanctions.--If, in accordance with the preceding provisions 
of the section, an individual is found to have failed without good 
cause to meet a requirement of the WORK program--
            ``(1) if the failure involves subsection (a)(1) (relating 
        to an offer of unsubsidized employment), the family of which 
        such individual is a member shall be ineligible for aid to 
        families with dependent children (if any such aid were 
        otherwise payable) for a period of six months and such 
        individual may not be assigned to a WORK position during such 
        period; and
            ``(2) if the failure involves paragraph (2), (3), or (4), 
        of subsection (a) or involves subsection (b)--
                    ``(A) in connection with the first of any such 
                failures, the amount of aid for which the family (of 
                which such individual is a member) is eligible shall 
                for one month equal one-half of the amount that would 
                be payable to the family if the individual were 
                awaiting assignment to a WORK position, but such 
                reduction shall cease upon the acceptance by such 
                individual of an assignment to a new WORK position or, 
                in cases involving job search or other required 
                activities (as described in subsection (a)(4)), the 
                individual's engaging in the required program 
                activities;
                    ``(B) in connection with the second of any such 
                failures, the amount of aid so payable shall be reduced 
                as described in subparagraph (A) for a 3-month period 
                and the individual may not be assigned during such 
                period to a new WORK position;
                    ``(C) in connection with the third of any such 
                failure, such family shall be ineligible for any such 
                aid for a 3-month period and the individual may not be 
                reassigned during such period; and
                    ``(D) in connection with the fourth or any 
                subsequent such failure, such family shall be 
                ineligible for any such aid for a 6-month period and 
                the individual may not be reassigned during such 
                period;
but during the months in which a sanction is applied under this 
subsection, the family of which the sanctioned individual is a member 
shall be considered, for purposes of the State's plan approved under 
part A, its plan approved under title XIX, to be receiving aid to 
families with dependent children and for purposes of any other Federal 
or federally-assisted program based on need, such family shall be 
considered to be receiving the amount that would be payable to such 
family if the individual were awaiting assignment to a WORK position. 
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if at any time an individual 
subject to a sanction under this subsection accepts an offer of 
unsubsidized employment in a position that meets the criteria for WORK 
positions prescribed by subsection (a)(1), the sanction shall cease at 
that time and both the individual and the family shall be considered, 
for purposes of part A, to be an individual and family no longer 
subject to sanction under this program.
    ``(g) Notwithstanding section 493, no individual who without good 
cause leaves an unsubsidized position that provides 20 hours or more 
per week (or such greater number as the State has elected under section 
482(a)(2)(A)(iii)) on the average, may register under section 493(b) 
for the WORK program (of any State) until after the 3-month period 
beginning on the date on which the individual left the position.
    ``(h) Evaluation Following Second WORK Sanction.--The State plan 
must provide that the State will promptly conduct a thorough evaluation 
of an individual (and family) against whom a second sanction must be 
imposed to determine whether there are particular circumstances, not 
previously recognized by the State agency, that are contributing to the 
individual's failure to meet the requirements of the WORK program, and 
to provide, where appropriate, any additional social services, 
evaluations, or other diagnostic or remedial services or take such 
other actions as may be necessary to assist the individual and protect 
the other family members. In conducting the evaluation, the State 
agency shall consider whether the individual is appropriately 
registered in the WORK program, or whether the individual should be 
referred to the State plan approved under part A to be considered an 
individual to whom section 402(a)(19)(D) applies.''.
    (b) Requirement To Provide Supportive Services to Individuals 
Registered for WORK Program.--Section 402(g)(2) is amended, by striking 
out ``part F'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``part F or part G''.

              REQUIREMENTS; MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT AND SUBSTANTIAL 
              IMPLEMENTATION.

    (a) Amount of State's Entitlement for JOBS.--Paragraphs (1) through 
(4) of section 403(k) of the Act are amended to read as follows:
    ``(k)(1) In addition to payments under subsection (a), the 
Secretary shall pay to each State with a plan approved under part F an

of fiscal years after 1998, 1 percent) for carrying out section 404 of 
the Work and Responsibility Act of 1994 (relating to demonstrations, 
research and evaluation, and technical assistance) and further reduced 
in fiscal year 1996 by the amount available to the Secretary for 
purposes of special adjustments under subsection (p).
    ``(4) For purposes of this subsection, the term `adult recipient' 
in the case of any State means an individual other than a dependent 
child (unless such child is the custodial parent of another dependent 
child) whose needs are met in whole or in part with payments of aid to 
families with dependent children or wages from a position under the 
WORK program, or a combination of such aid and wages.''.
    (b) Participation Standards for JOBS Program.--Section 403(k) of 
the Act is further amended by adding at the end thereof the following 
new paragraphs:
            ``(6)(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
        subsection--
                    ``(i) if, with respect to a State in a fiscal year,

                to families with dependent children who are described 
                in subparagraph (B)(i) or (ii) of section 402(a)(19) 
                but are not included in subparagraph (D) thereof who 
                participate in an activity under the JOBS program 
                (including individuals who are employed for the minimum 
                number of hours adopted by the State under section 
                482(a)(2)(A)(iii) or are being sanctioned pursuant to 
                section 402(a)(19)(G)) exceeds 55 percent of the 
                average monthly number of all such individuals, the 
                Secretary shall pay to such State an additional amount 
                (without the requirement of any additional nonfederal 
                share) for use in carrying out its program under part 
                F, and
                    ``(ii) if, with respect to a State, such average 
                monthly number in such year does not exceed 45 percent, 
                then the Secretary shall reduce by 25 percent the 
                Federal matching rate generally applicable to such 
                State's expenditures for aid for each month in such 
                year with respect to the number of individuals by which 
                the average monthly number is less than 45 percent of 
                the total.
        The Secretary shall determine the amount of the additional 
        payments for performance exceeding the standard and shall make 
        such additional payments for a fiscal year by increasing as 
        appropriate the amount payable to such State under subsection 
        (a) up to the amount of the reductions under clause (ii), 
        together with the reductions under subparagraph (C) and 
        subsection (l)(4)(A) for such fiscal year, and if the 
        additional payments exceed such reductions the amount available 
        to the Secretary for such fiscal year under subsection (p) 
        shall be reduced by the amount of such excess.
            ``(B) The Secretary shall issue regulations prescribing 
        criteria for determining what constitutes participation by an 
        individual for purposes of this section, the periods of time 
        over which participation will be measured, and any other 
        matters necessary to implement the provisions of this 
        subsection or of subsection (l).
            ``(C) If the average monthly number of individuals in a 
        fiscal year to whom the State applies section 
        402(a)(19)(D)(vii) exceeds the limit prescribed therein (or 
        such greater limit as the Secretary may have allowed), or if 
        the average monthly number of individuals with respect to whom 
        the State extends the time limit under section 417 exceeds the 
        limit prescribed in section 417(e) (or such greater limit as 
        the Secretary may have allowed), the Secretary shall, 
        notwithstanding any other provision of this section, reduce by 
        25 percent for each month in such fiscal year the Federal 
        matching rate generally applicable to such State's expenditures 
        for aid with respect to the total number of individuals by 
        which such average monthly numbers exceeds such limits.
            ``(D) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A)(i), the Federal 
        payment shall not be increased if the Secretary determines that 
        the State has not accurately recorded the number of months for 
        which individuals to whom section 417 applies have received 
        aid, or has not accurately recorded or reported to the 
        Secretary other required data, to an extent inconsistent with 
        standards for accuracy prescribed in regulations by the 
        Secretary.''.
    (c)(1) Amount of State's Entitlement for WORK.--Section 403(l) of 
the Act is amended by striking out paragraphs (1) through (3) and 
inserting in lieu thereof the following:
    ``(l)(1) In addition to payments under subsections (a) and (k), the 
Secretary shall pay to each State with a plan approved under part G an 
amount to carry out its program under such plan equal to the sum of--

                year may not exceed the limitation under paragraph (2)

enactment of this Act) is redesignated as subsection (k)(7) of section 
403.
    (d) Participation Standards for WORK Program.--Section 403(l) of 
the Act is further amended by adding at the end thereof the following 
new paragraphs:

        paragraph, the Federal matching rate applicable to a State's 
        expenditures for aid to families with dependent children for a

        percent with respect to the average monthly number of

                        not less than 0.80.''.
    (e) Provisions Applicable to Jobs, Work, and Child Care Funding.--
Section 403(m) of the Act is amended to read as follows:
    ``(m)(1) If a State so requests, the limitation applicable to such 
State under subsection (k)(2) for a fiscal year, or the limitation 
applicable to such State under subsection (l)(2) for such fiscal year, 
may be increased (and the other limit decreased equally) by an amount 
up to 10 percent of the sum of such limits for such fiscal year or, if 
less, by the amount of the limit to be decreased. In the case of fiscal 
1997, the State may request that its limit under subsection (k)(2) be 
reduced by up to 10 percent and the amount made available for preparing 
to conduct its WORK program.
    ``(2) If the sum of the amount specified in any fiscal year under 
subsection (k)(3), and the amount specified for such fiscal year under 
subsection (l)(3), exceeds (or if the Secretary estimates that it will 
exceed) the total amount paid (or estimated to be payable) under 
subsections (k)(1) and (l)(1)(A) for such fiscal year, then the 
Secretary shall adjust the maximums applicable to payments to those 
States to which the limits under such subsections have made additional 
payment unavailable under either subsection (k)(1) or (l)(1)(A), and to 
which payments for such fiscal year under either or both such 
subsections would be greater but for the applicability to such States 
of such limits. The Secretary shall by regulation provide for the 
equitable adjustment of such limits in the case where all States' 
requests for adjustment of limits, and additional payments, for a 
fiscal year under this paragraph exceed the amount available for 
reallotment.
    ``(3)(A) If in any fiscal year--
            ``(i) the average rate of total unemployment in a State for 
        such fiscal year equals or exceeds 6.5 percent, and
            ``(ii) the average rate of total unemployment in such State 
        for such fiscal year equals or exceeds 110 percent of such rate 
        for either of the two preceding fiscal years,
the percent applicable to such State for such fiscal year, for purposes 
of applying each of subsections (k)(1)(A), (l)(1)(A)(i), and (n)(1)(A), 
to the extent made possible by the availability of additional amounts 
to such State pursuant to paragraph (2), shall be applied as if it had 
been increased by 10 percent of the difference between 100 percent and 
the rate otherwise applicable in each of such subsections, 
respectively, from the beginning of such fiscal year (but if no such 
additional amount is made available, such rates shall be unaffected by 
this subparagraph).
    ``(B) The amounts specified in subsections (k)(3), (l)(3), and 
(n)(3) for any fiscal year are each increased, if, for either the last 
two quarters of the preceding fiscal year, or the first two quarters of 
the fiscal year involved (but not such last two quarters), the average 
rate of total unemployment in the United States equals or exceeds 7 
percent, by 2.5 percent plus an additional 0.25 percent for each one-
tenth of a percentage point by which the average rate of total 
unemployment in the United States (for such two-quarter period) exceeds 
7 percent.
    ``(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (k) and (l), no 
amount of a State's expenditures as aid to families with dependent 
children shall be excluded for purposes of payment under subsection (a) 
by reason of the State's failure to meet the participation standards or 
the limit on deferrals (under section 402(a)(19)(D)(vii)) or extensions 
of the time limit (under section 417(e)) applicable to the State's 
program under part F for months in the first year that such program is 
in effect, or by reason of the State's failure to meet the 
participation standard applicable to its program under part G during 
the first year that such program is in effect.
    ``(5) Prior to the general effective date of the amendments to part 
F made by the Work and Responsibility Act of 1994, or the general 
effective date of part G, as the case may be, the Secretary shall issue 
regulations containing the necessary information to permit 
implementation of such standards and application of reductions in 
Federal payment for failure to meet such standards. Not later than 12 
months after such amendments become effective with respect to a State, 
such State shall be required to begin reporting data as required by the 
Secretary in order to determine whether the participation standards 
have been met.
    ``(6) As used in this part, a `State's enhanced Federal medical 
assistance percentage' with respect to expenditures for a fiscal year 
means such State's Federal medical assistance percentage as defined in 
section 1905(b) (or, where applicable as defined in the last sentence 
of section 1118), plus
            ``(A) 5 percentage points, but not less than 65 percent, 
        with respect to fiscal years 1996 and 1997,
            ``(B) 7 percentage points, but not less than 67 percent, 
        with respect to fiscal year 1998,
            ``(C) 9 percentage points, but not less than 69 percent, 
        with respect to fiscal year 1999, and
            ``(D) 10 percentage points, but not less than 70 percent, 
        with respect to fiscal year 2000, and each fiscal year 
        thereafter.''.
    (f)(1) Section 402(g)(3)(A)(i) of the Act is amended by striking 
out ``Federal medical assistance percentage (as defined in section 
1905(b))'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``State's enhanced Federal 
medical assistance percentage (as defined in section 403(m)(6))''.
    (2) Section 402(g)(B)(A)(ii) of the Act is amended by striking out 
``Federal medical assistance percentage (as defined in section 1118)'' 
and inserting in lieu thereof ``State's enhanced Federal medical 
assistance percentage (as defined in section 403(m)(6))''.
    (g) Section 403 of the Act is amended by adding at the end thereof 
the following new subsection:
    ``(o) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section, the 
percentage applicable to a State for purposes of section 402(g)(3)(A) 
and subsections (k)(1)(A), (l)(1)(A)(ii), and (n)(1)(A) (for 
determining the Federal payment with respect to a State's JOBS program 
expenditures, portions of its WORK program expenditures, and its child 
care expenditures, respectively) shall be the State's Federal medical 
assistance percentage, but not less than 60 percent (or, in the case of 
section 402(g)(3)(A) and subsection (n)(1)(A), the State's Federal 
medical assistance percentage) for any fiscal year--
            ``(1) in which the nonfederal share of the sum of its 
        expenditures that may be included for purposes of subsection 
        (a)(3) and its expenditures for its program under part F, its 
        program under part G, and child care services under subsections 
        (g) and (i) of section 402 (not included under subsection 
        (a)(3)) is less than the nonfederal share of expenditures for 
        purposes of subsection (a)(3) and of expenditures (for which 
        Federal matching was provided) under its program under part F 
        and child care services (not included under subsection (a)(3)) 
        under subsections (g) and (i) of section 402 for fiscal year 
        1994 (or fiscal year 1993 if such nonfederal share were greater 
        for such year), or
            ``(2) in which the number of individuals to whom the 
        provisions of section 417 are being applied is less than 90 
        percent of the number of individuals in the State who are 
        custodial parents described in subparagraph (B)(i) of section 
        402(a)(19) (but not included under subparagraph (D) thereof) 
        unless the State has submitted an approvable plan amendment 
        that provides for implementing all statutory requirements to 
        its JOBS program, and meeting related requirements with respect 
        to 90 percent of such individuals within two years of the date 
        such requirements first become effective.''.
    (h) Secretary's Special Adjustment Fund.--Section 403 of the Act is 
amended by adding at the end thereof the following new subsection:
    ``(p)(1) There shall be available to the Secretary from the amount 
appropriated for payments under subsection (k) for States' JOBS 
programs for fiscal year 1996, $300,000,000 for special adjustments to 
States' limitations on Federal payments for their JOBS and WORK 
programs. Amounts made available to the Secretary pursuant to this 
subsection shall also be available for carrying out subsection (k)(6) 
and section 404(c).
    ``(2) A State may, not later than March 1 and September 1 of each 
fiscal year, submit to the Secretary a request to adjust the limitation 
on payments under this section with respect to its JOBS (and, in fiscal 
years after 1997) its WORK programs for the following fiscal year. The 
Secretary shall only consider such a request from a State which has, or 
which demonstrates convincingly on the basis of estimates that it will, 
submit allowable claims for Federal payment in the full amount 
available to it under subsections (k) and (l) in the current fiscal 
year and obligated 95% of its full amount in the prior fiscal year. The 
Secretary shall by regulation prescribe criteria for the equitable 
allocation among the States of Federal payments pursuant to adjustments 
of the limitations referred to in the preceding sentence in the case 
where the requests of all States that the Secretary finds reasonable 
exceed the amount available, and, within 30 days following the dates 
specified in this paragraph, will notify each State whether one or more 
of its limitations will be adjusted in accordance with the State's 
request and the amount of the adjustment (which may be some or all of 
the amount requested).
    ``(3) The Secretary may adjust the limitation on Federal payments 
to a State for a fiscal year under subsection (k) and under subsection 
(l), and upon a determination by the Secretary that (and the amount by 
which) a State's limitation should be raised, the amount specified in 
either such subsection, or both, shall be considered to be so increased 
for the following fiscal year.
    ``(4) The amount made available under subsection (a) for special 
adjustments shall remain available to the Secretary until expended. 
That amount shall be reduced by the sum of the adjustments approved by 
the Secretary in any fiscal year, and the amount shall be increased in 
a fiscal year by the amount by which all States' limitations under 
subsection (k), (l), and (n) for a fiscal year exceeded the sum of the 
Federal payments under such subsections for such fiscal year (after 
application of subsection (m)(2)), but for fiscal years after 1977, 
such amount at the end of such fiscal year shall not exceed 
$400,000,000.''.

SEC. 203. ADMINISTRATION OF THE JOBS AND WORK PROGRAMS.

    (a) State Option.--Part G of title IV of the Act is amended by 
adding at the end thereof the following new section:

to as the `part A agency') to administer (or supervise the 
administration of) the JOBS program under part F and the WORK program

SEC. 204. SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO INDIAN TRIBES AND ALASKA 
              NATIVE ORGANIZATIONS.

    (a) Authority to Administer JOBS and WORK Programs.--Section 482(i) 
of the Act is amended--
            (1) by redesignating paragraphs (5), (6), (7), and (8) as 
        paragraphs (6), (7), (8), and (9), respectively, and
            (2) by amending paragraphs (1) through (4) of such 
        subsection to read as follows:
            ``(1)(A) An Indian tribe or Alaska Native organization may 
        apply to the Secretary to conduct both a JOBS program under 
        this part, and a WORK program under part G. An application to 
        conduct these programs in a fiscal year must be submitted not 
        later than July 1 of the preceding fiscal year. Upon approval 
        of the application, payment in the amount determined in 
        accordance with the succeeding provisions of this subsection 
        shall be made directly to the tribe or organization involved.
            ``(B) Neither the JOBS program nor the WORK program set 
        forth in the application of an Indian tribe or Alaska Native 
        organization submitted under subparagraph (A) need meet any 
        requirement under this part or part G or under section 
        402(a)(19) that the Secretary determines is inappropriate for 
        such program.
            ``(C) The JOBS and WORK programs of any Indian tribe or 
        Alaska Native organization may be terminated voluntarily by 
        such tribe or organization or may be terminated by the 
        Secretary upon a finding that such programs are not being 
        conducted in substantial conformity with the terms of the 
        application approved under subparagraph (A). Following 
        voluntary termination of an application, or termination by the 
        Secretary of an application of an Indian tribe or Alaska Native 
        organization, such tribe or organization shall not be eligible 
        to submit a new application under subparagraph (A) with respect 
        to any year before the sixth year following such termination.
            ``(2) The Secretary shall pay directly to each Indian tribe 
        or Alaska Native organization with an application approved to 
        conduct a JOBS program under this part and a WORK program under 
        part G for a fiscal year an amount (without the requirement of 
        any non-Federal share) which bears the same ratio to 2 percent 
        of the sum of the amounts specified in sections 403(k)(3) and 
        403(l)(3) for such fiscal year as the adult Indian or Alaska 
        Native population receiving aid to families with dependent 
        children residing within the area to be served by the tribe or 
        organization bears to the total of such adults receiving such 
        aid residing within all areas which any such tribe or 
        organization could serve. The Secretary shall from time to time 
        review the components of the ratios established under the first 
        sentence of this subparagraph to determine whether the 
        individual payments under this subsection continue to reflect 
        accurately the distribution of population among the grantees, 
        and shall make adjustments necessary to maintain the correct 
        distribution of funding.
            ``(3) A grantee under this subsection may use up to 20 
        percent of its payment for the JOBS program, or for the WORK 
        program, as the case may be, for a fiscal year to carry out 
        such program in the following fiscal year, and up to 10 percent 
        of such payment for either such program to carry out the other 
        such program in the fiscal year for which the payment was made.
            ``(4) At the request of a grantee, the Secretary may 
        approve use of up to 10 percent (or, if less, $5000) of the 
        payment for the JOBS program in connection with an economic 
        development project upon a demonstration by the grantee that 
        such project will include provision for training JOBS program 
        participants in skills necessary for employment on the project.
            ``(5) An application under this subsection shall provide 
        that (upon approval) the grantee will be responsible for 
        determining whether an individual (within the grantee's service 
        area) to whom the time limits of section 417 apply is one to 
        whom section 402(a)(19)(D) is applicable, and whether (and for 
        how long) extensions of the time limit under section 417 should 
        be provided and for reporting to the State agency making 
        payments of aid to the individuals served by the grantee the 
        determinations made under this paragraph''.
    (b) Child Care.--Section 403 is amended by adding after and below 
subsection (b) the following new subsection:
    ``(c)(1) Each Indian tribe and Alaska Native organization 
submitting an application under section 482(i) to administer its JOBS 
and WORK programs under parts F and G, respectively, may also submit to 
the Secretary (as a part of the application) a description of the child 
care needs of its JOBS and WORK program participants, and of the 
program that it will implement to meet such needs, and request direct 
funding for the provision of all such child care. The child care 
program described need not meet any requirement of this part (other 
than the requirements of section 402(g)(1)(A)(viii)) that the Secretary 
determines is inappropriate with respect to such child care program.
    ``(2) The Secretary shall pay to each Indian tribe and each Alaska 
Native organization whose application approved under section 482(i) 
includes a request for direct funding for child care an amount (without 
the requirement of a nonfederal share) to provide child care for 
recipients of AFDC and for participants in the tribe's or 
organization's JOBS and WORK programs, and to provide transitional 
child care with respect to an individual who is eligible for child care 
under section 402(g)(1)(A)(ii). The amount of the payment provided 
under the preceding sentence for a fiscal year shall not exceed the 
total amount payable directly to such tribe or organization under 
section 482(i).
    ``(3) The provisions of sections 402(g)(1)(A) (i) and (ii) shall 
not be construed as imposing any obligation upon a State to provide 
child care for the children of JOBS or WORK program participants 
included within an approved application under section 482(i) that 
includes a request for direct funding of child care, during the period 
for which such direct funding is provided.
    ``(4) The Secretary shall establish data collection and reporting 
requirements, and performance standards, with respect to child care 
programs implemented under this subsection.''.

SEC. 205. SPECIAL RULES FOR THE TERRITORIES.

    ``(a) Exclusion From General Ceiling of JOBS, WORK, and ``At-Risk'' 
Child Care.--Section 1108(a) of the Act is amended by striking out, in 
the matter preceding paragraph (1), ``section 403(k)'' and inserting in 
lieu thereof ``subsection (k), (l)(1), or (n) of section 403''.
    (b) Section 482 of the Act is amended by adding at the end thereof 
the following new subsection:
    ``(j) Options for Territories.--(1) In General.--Puerto Rico, the 
Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa may each determine whether the 
provisions of section 417 shall be applicable under its State plan 
approved under part A, and, if so, part G shall be applicable. Each 
State exercising the option in the preceding sentence shall submit the 
necessary plan amendments and plans to the Secretary for approval. Any 
such plan or plan amendment must also describe with respect to such 
section 417 and part G (and all related amendments) a phase-in strategy 
and a timetable for achieving full implementation.
    ``(2) Secretarial waivers.--The Secretary may waive or modify any 
requirement pertaining to the provisions of section 417, the program 
required under part G, or the requirements of part A (including 
participation rates and performance standards) that, as established 
with reference to the 50 States and the District of Columbia, would be 
inappropriate for a State to which this subsection applies.
    ``(3) Termination.--The applicability of section 417 and part G to 
a State to which this section applies may be terminated voluntarily by 
such State, but following any such termination, such State shall not be 
eligible to exercise the option with respect to any year before the 
sixth year following such termination.''.

SEC. 206. TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT FOR NON-CUSTODIAL PARENTS.

    Section 482 of the Act is amended by adding at the end thereof the 
following new subsection:
    ``(j) Training and Employment for Non-Custodial Parents.--
            ``(1) The Secretary shall approve the application of a 
        State to conduct a program of training and employment 
        opportunities for noncustodial parents that meets the 
        requirements of this subsection.
            ``(2) An application to conduct a program under this 
        subsection shall--
                    ``(A) describe the political subdivision or 
                subdivisions, or other identifiable areas of the State 
                where the program will be conducted,
                    ``(B) describe the services that will be provided 
                to participants, including the training, job readiness 
                services, and employment opportunities that will be 
                available, and indicate whether these will be provided 
                through the program under this part or under part G (or 
                both) or whether some or all of the activities under 
                this subsection will be conducted as a separate 
                program,
                    ``(C) describe the supportive services that will be 
                provided to enhance the participant's involvement in 
                the program and ability to obtain employment and meet 
                his or her child support obligations,
                    ``(D) indicate whether the State will conduct a 
                random assignment evaluation of the effects of the 
                program on improved responsibility in meeting child 
                support obligations, and
                    ``(E) provide assurance that the State's program 
                will comply with the requirements of this subsection.
            ``(3) The application must provide that a noncustodial 
        parent will be eligible to commence participation in the 
        program under this subsection if his or her child is receiving 
        aid to families with dependent children (or the child's 
        custodial parent is receiving wages in connection with the 
        program under part G), or if the noncustodial parent owes past-
        due child support which has been assigned to the State agency 
        administering the State plan approved under part A and is 
        unemployed. Paternity must be established before a noncustodial 
        father may enter the program, and the noncustodial parent must 
        be cooperating in the establishment of a child support 
        obligation and the entry of an award. If a parent who has been 
        participating in the program ceases to be eligible therefor 
        because the child with respect to whom the support obligation 
        exists is no longer eligible for aid to families with dependent 
        children (and the custodial parent is not receiving wages in 
        connection with the program under part G), the State must 
        nonetheless allow the participant to complete the training or 
        program activity.
            ``(4) A State conducting a program under this subsection 
        shall not be required--
                    ``(A) to accept all applicants even though they 
                meet the criteria of paragraph (3), or
                    ``(B) to provide the same training, services, or 
                employment opportunities to all participants,
        and the State shall not require--
                    ``(C) that individuals participate in the JOBS 
                program (or in education or training activities 
                comparable or similar to the JOBS program) as a 
                prerequisite to participation in the WORK program (or 
                comparable program of subsidized employment), or
                    ``(D) that the custodial parent of an individual's 
                child be participating in the JOBS program under part F 
                or the WORK program under part G as a condition of such 
                individual's eligibility to participate in the program 
                under this subsection.
            ``(5) The State agency shall assure that wages will be paid 
        for work performed by the participant and may provide for the 
        payment of training stipends.
            ``(6)(A) The State agency shall garnish subsidized wages, 
        or any stipends, paid in connection with a non-custodial 
        parent's participation in the program under this subsection, 
        and remit them to the State agency administering the State plan 
        approved under part D for distribution as a child support 
        collection in accordance with the provisions of that part.
            ``(B) The State may provide, if, with respect to an 
        individual participating in the program under this subsection, 
        it has jurisdiction over the child support obligation being 
        enforced that hours of participation in program activities may, 
        or a reasonable basis, be credited to reduce amounts of past-
        due child support owed to such State agency by the individual.
            ``(7)(A) A State with an application approved under this 
        subsection may use, for carrying out the program described in 
        such application in any fiscal year, up to 10 percent of the 
        sum of the amounts available to it for such fiscal year under 
        subsection (k)(2) and (l)(2) of section 403. The State shall be 
        entitled to so much of such amount as equals the percentage 
        specified in section 403(k)(1)(A) multiplied by its 
        expenditures necessary to carry out its approved application.
            ``(B) A State may include, as expenditures necessary to 
        carry out its approved application, amounts expended for 
        stipends, wage subsidies, supportive services, training, and 
        administrative costs of the State agency directly related to 
        the program under this subsection.''.

CCDBG Act under which--

        (either in advance or as reimbursement) the lead agency for the 
        cost of providing child care for any child with respect to whom 
        care must be guaranteed under subsection (g) or is to be 
        furnished under subsection (i), and the lead agency agrees that 
        care for all such children will only be paid for from such 
        reimbursement; and
            ``(B) that (i) all child care provided by the lead agency 
        under the agreement, whether directly or by contractual or

agency shall be obligated to pay the lead agency for child care 
furnished in a fiscal year only to the extent of appropriations 
available for such purpose for such fiscal year.
    ``(3) Single State Agency.--Nothing in this subsection shall be 
construed as precluding the designation of the agency established or 
designated under section 402(a)(3) as the lead agency for purposes of 
the CCDBG Act. No agreement shall be necessary in the case where the 
same agency is designated under both the CCDBG Act and this Act, but 
the agency shall, as lead agency, comply with all the provisions of 
this subsection.''.

                with licensing, monitoring, and similar activities with 
                respect to child care providers in the State. The

                the number of children for whom child care is 
                reimbursed under section 403(a), the number of child 
                care providers in the State furnishing such child care, 
                or both, and any other factors which the Secretary 
                determines it would be equitable to consider. The total

        Act) and to increase the availability in low-income communities 
        of child care appropriate for infants and very young children 
        in a variety of settings. Either the State agency administering 
        the plan approved under this part or the lead agency designated 
        under the CCDBG Act may conduct such activities (in which case 
        the State agency shall pay to the lead agency the amount

programs directly administered by Indian tribes or Alaska Native 
organizations), the Secretary shall develop recommendations for factors 
to be measured in assessing such programs, together with specific 
elements to be examined and the methodology for collecting the 
necessary data. Factors to be recommended shall include the percentage 
of a State's AFDC caseload subject to the time limits in section 417 
who receive aid for 24 cumulative months and may include factors such 
as those considered under section 106 of the Job Training Partnership 
Act, as well as--
            ``(1) the increase in employment and level of earnings of 
        program participants after leaving the JOBS and WORK programs,
            ``(2) the retention of program participants for significant 
        periods of time in unsubsidized employment,
            ``(3) the decrease in the rate of dependency on welfare of 
        participants' families,
            ``(4) the improvement in the long-term economic well-being 
        of families with children with a family member who previously 
        participated in one or both such programs, and
            ``(5) such other factors as the Secretary finds 
        appropriate.
The Secretary shall solicit views on the recommendations from the 
Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Education, and other Federal, 
State, and local officials (and representatives of associations of such 
officials) from both the executive and the legislative branches of 
government, and from other individuals and organizations with expertise 
in the fields of social welfare, education and training programs for 
children and adults, employment-related programs and social and 
supportive services related to these areas, as well as from community-
based organizations and former and current program participants. Based 
upon the consultations and consideration of the views provided 
regarding the recommended factors, the Secretary shall, not later than 
October 1, 1996, publish in the Federal Register the factors to be 
measured in assessing States' performance in administering the programs 
established under parts F and G.
    ``(b) Development of Performance Standards.--(1) Recommendations.--
In order to set standards of achievement to be applied to each of the 
factors to be measured as defined in accordance with subsection (a), 
the Secretary shall, not later than April 1, 1998, develop recommended 
standards to be applied to each of the factors. Views on these 
recommended standards shall be solicited from officials, organizations, 
and individuals broadly representative of the groups described in 
subsection (a). Based upon the consultations and consideration of the 
comments received from these sources, the Secretary shall, not later 
than October 1, 1998, publish in the Federal Register the standards to 
be applied to the measurement factors.
    ``(2) Requirements.--The performance standards described in 
paragraph (1) shall include provisions governing cost-effective methods 
for obtaining such data as are necessary to carry out this section 
which, notwithstanding any other provision of law, may include access 
to earnings records, State employment security records, records 
collected under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (chapter 21 of 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), State aid to families with 
dependent children records, and the use of statistical sampling 
techniques, and similar records or measures, with appropriate 
safeguards to protect the confidentiality of the information obtained.
    ``(c) Incentives and Penalties.--The Secretary shall recommend and, 
not later than October 1, 1998, issue regulations prescribing 
incentives for States meeting or exceeding the performance standards 
adopted pursuant to subsection (b), and penalties for States failing to 
meet such standards. In developing such regulations, the Secretary 
shall study and consider the relationship between penalties and 
incentives as a means of achieving the proposed standards. The 
Secretary will consider whether the penalties and incentives set are 
sufficient to insure that a State which incurs the costs necessary to 
obtain the desired outcomes is financially better off than one that 
does not. Such regulations shall also include provisions for delay of 
any penalty when the Secretary finds it appropriate to afford a State 
sufficient time to develop and (with the Secretary's approval) 
implement a corrective action plan which, if successful, will obviate 
the application of a penalty, and provision for furnishing technical 
assistance to any State in order to improve its program and avoid the 
application of a penalty.
    ``(d) The Secretary shall, from time to time, and in consultation 
with officials, organizations, and individuals broadly representative 
of the groups referred to in subsection (a), review and, if 
appropriate, propose modifications to the factors to be measured, the 
standards of performance, or the incentives and penalties, and after 
opportunity for review and comment, modify any one or more of such 
items.
    ``(e) The Secretary shall on an annual basis make public the level 
of performance achieved by each State as compared to the applicable 
standard.
    ``(f)(1) Each State with a plan approved under this part shall 
collect and furnish such data as the Secretary may require to assist in 
the development of the factors to measure performance (pursuant to 
subsection (a)) and the development of standards to be applied to those 
factors (pursuant to subsection (b)).
    ``(2) Each State with a plan approved under this part shall 
establish methods to solicit, on a regular and ongoing basis, the views 
of participants in the program under this part, and in the WORK program 
under part G, and of employers of participants from both programs, on 
the quality and effectiveness of the services provided under the 
program. Participants and employers may provide either oral or written 
views, and the State should use a range of methods to obtain such 
views, including written questionnaires and group interviews and 
discussions. The information obtained from participants and employers 
shall be analyzed by the State and a summary of the information, 
together with the State's analysis, made available for use in improving 
the administration of the JOBS and WORK programs.

control system to secure the accurate data needed to measure 
performance, identify areas in which corrective action is necessary, 
and determine the amount (if any) of the disallowance required to be 
repaid to the Secretary because of erroneous payments of aid made by 
the State, or its failure to meet such participation or performance 
standards.''.
    (b) Additional Data Required To Be Sampled.--Section 408(h) of the 
Act is amended--
            (1) by redesignating paragraphs (2) through (6) as

        exceeding the limits specified in section 402(a)(19)(D) or 
        417(e), and the State's failure to achieve the participation 
        rates specified in section 403, or to meet the performance 
        standards developed pursuant to section 487, and the additional 
        data elements to be included in a sample (and whether as part 
        of the sample review under subsection (b) or separately) in 
        order to determine whether such participation rates have been 
        achieved, and the extent to which the State has met such 
        performance standards;''; and
            (3) by amending paragraph (3) (as redesignated) by 
        inserting before the semicolon ``and matters relating to the 
        size and selection of samples and relating to the methodology 
        for making statistically valid estimates of the State's 
        compliance with the limits referred to in paragraph (2) and its 
        achievement of participation rates and performance (measured

plan approved under this part concerning individuals receiving (or who 
have received) aid to families with dependent children or wages under a 
State's WORK program under part G.
    ``(b) Information To Be Maintained.--There shall be maintained in 
the Registry, at a minimum, the following information with respect to 
each individual in the family who has received aid to families with

shall promptly respond to requests by a State agency administering a 
plan approved under this part for information with respect to one or 
more individuals, identified by name and social security number. The 
Secretary shall furnish such information electronically, and if such an

The Secretary shall take into consideration in developing and issuing 
rules under this subsection the varying levels of capability among the 
States to monitor, provide, and receive by electronic means the 
information to be maintained in the Registry, and shall allow in such 
rules a State to adopt alternatives to the generally applicable 
requirements if the State demonstrates that its alternative will be 
effective in reporting, receiving and using the information to be 
maintained in the Registry and the State has in effect an advance 
planning document approved under section 402(e).
    ``(d) The Secretary shall not be liable to either a State or an 
individual for inaccurate information provided to the Registry by one 
State and reported by the Secretary to a second State.

                as defined in subsection (m)(6)) of a State's 
                expenditures under its approved advance planning 
                document for the cost of developing and implementing 
                any such system collaborative project; and
                    ``(C) notwithstanding any other provision of this 
                section, the total amount payable by the Secretary with 
                respect to expenditures, (during the five-year period) 
                to which subparagraph (B) applies shall not exceed 
                $800,000,000 to be distributed among the States, and to 
                make available at such time or times over the five-year 
                period, as is provided in regulations issued by the 
                Secretary, taking into account the relative size of

continue to meet requirements imposed under this part.''.

SEC. 404. RESEARCH AND EVALUATION; TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE; DEMONSTRATION 
              PROJECTS.

    (a) Funding.--There shall be available to the Secretary of Health 
and Human Services (hereafter in this section referred to as the 
``Secretary'') for carrying out the projects and other activities 
specified in this section, and other such activities related to the 
provisions of this Act, in a fiscal year an amount equal to 2 percent 
(or, in the case of fiscal years after 1998, 1 percent) of the sum of 
the amounts specified in subsections (k)(3), (l)(3), and (n)(2)(B) of 
section 403 of the Social Security Act for such fiscal year.
    (b) Research and Evaluation.--In addition to any other research and 
evaluation found appropriate by the Secretary pertaining to the new 
programs and amendments to existing programs added to the Social 
Security Act by the provisions of this Act, the Secretary shall, in 
consultation with the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Education 
conduct, in accordance with scientifically-acceptable methodology, the 
following studies of the time-limited program of assistance together 
with training and preparation for employment, followed by a program of 
required employment or employment-related activities:
            (1) A two-phase implementation study of--
                    (A) the initial steps taken by States and political 
                subdivisions to implement the new programs and 
                requirements established by the amendments made by this 
                Act, as well as the obstacles faced, institutional 
                arrangements entered into, and recommendations of such 
                States and political subdivisions based on their 
                experiences, and thereafter
                    (B) the experiences of States and localities after 
                the new programs and requirements have been 
                substantially implemented, including a study of the 
                program design, services provided, funding levels, 
                participation rates, and recommendations of the 
                administering agencies, and a review of the impact of 
                these new programs and requirements on the State and 
                local administration of the programs, including 
                management systems, staffing structures, and the 
                culture of the welfare programs.
            (2) An evaluation in a variety of States and localities, 
        using random assignment of individuals to treatment and control 
        groups, and other appropriate rigorous methods, to examine the 
        effectiveness of time-limited assistance in helping 
        participants achieve self-sufficiency, and the corresponding 
        effect on unemployment rates, reduction of welfare dependency 
        and teen pregnancy, the effects on income levels, family 
        structure, and children's well-being among participant groups.
            (3) Together with the Secretary of Labor, a comprehensive 
        national study after the WORK program (under part G of title IV 
        of the Act) has been in effect for 2 years to measure the 
        program's success in assisting participants to obtain 
        unsubsidized employment, and to evaluate skill levels and 
        barriers to employment in the case of individuals who have not, 
        after participating in such program for 2 years, been able to 
        obtain unsubsidized employment.
    (c) Technical Assistance.--In addition to any other specific 
authorization in the Social Security Act for technical assistance, the 
Secretary is authorized to offer a broad range of technical assistance 
to States (including Indian tribes and Alaska Native organizations) and 
territories, including training, consultations, and fostering the 
exchange of information among States and others about practices, 
strategies, and techniques that are proving effective.
    (d) Placement Demonstration Projects.--The Secretary is authorized 
to approve up to 10 demonstrations of innovative techniques to increase 
the number of placements of participants in the JOBS program (under 
part F of title IV of the Social Security Act) in positions of 
unsubsidized employment with significant retention rates. No more than 
5 such demonstrations shall test the use by the State of a private 
organization, pursuant to a contractual arrangement under which the 
organization will place JOBS program participants in employment, and no 
more than 5 such demonstrations shall involve the use of placement 
bonuses payable to State or local agency employees who effectuate 
successful placements. All the projects shall specify performance 
standards (based on placement and retention rates) to measure 
successful performance, and, in the case of projects involving the use 
of private agencies, shall also specify the services that must be made 
available to clients, both before and after the placement, and indicate 
whether the organization will also serve participants in the State's 
WORK program (under part G of title IV of the Social Security Act.)
    (e) Work-for-Wages Demonstration Pro- jects.--The Secretary is 
authorized to approve up to 5 local demonstration projects to test the 
development, implementation, and effectiveness of WORK programs 
conducted outside the context of the State's AFDC program. Any project 
approved under this subsection must include the following elements:
            (1) The State agency administering the State's AFDC program 
        (under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act) must 
        close the case when an individual to whom section 417 applies 
        (as added by section 104 of this Act) reaches the time limit 
        specified in such section.
            (2) Each individual involved in the demonstration must be 
        advised of the procedures that must be followed to apply for 
        the WORK-for-Wages Project, and may not be denied an 
        opportunity to participate if such individual would be eligible 
        to participate in the State's WORK program under part G of such 
        title.
            (3) Each individual will be afforded the opportunity to 
        earn wages in a position of employment and WORK stipends if 
        necessary to provide at least the income level of the State's 
        AFDC program (after application of the $120 per month earned 
        income disregard for work expenses) in the case of a similarly 
        situated family (and States conducting projects will be 
        encouraged to standardize, to the extent consistent with the 
        preceding provisions of this paragraph, the amount of the 
        stipends), but no payment of either wages or the stipend will 
        occur unless the individual has worked or participated in an 
        alternative project-specified activity such as job search, 
        interim community service, or other activity designed by the 
        project.
            (4) Those elements of the WORK program under part G of 
        title IV of the Act which the Secretary determines are 
        essential to achieve its objectives, while protecting the 
        interests of participants in the program and others involved in 
        or affected by the project, will be retained and applied in the 
        project.
    (f) Work Support Agency Demonstrations.--The Secretary is 
authorized, in consultation with the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary 
of Agriculture, and the Secretary of the Treasury, to approve 
demonstration projects in up to 5 States, under which the State 
establishes a Work Support Agency to provide a broad and coordinated 
array of services and assistance to individuals who are former 
recipients of aid to families with dependent children to assist them in 
retaining unsubsidized employment. Services may include assistance in 
obtaining other benefits or payments for which the individual is still 
eligible, assistance in dealing with short-term family problems which 
could otherwise jeopardize continuation of the employment relationship, 
short-term or one-time financial aid to meet unusual employment-related 
needs and any other aid or services that support the individual's 
ability to retain or, where necessary, secure employment.
    (g) Demonstration Projects for Noncustodial Parents.--In order to 
encourage the development of innovative parenting programs for 
noncustodial parents that build upon existing programs for high-risk 
families, such as the Head Start program, the Healthy Start program, 
the Even Start program, and the Family Preservation and Support 
program, the Secretary is authorized to make grants to States, Indian 
tribes and Alaska Native organizations, or community-based 
organizations to conduct demonstration projects designed to improve the 
parenting skills of noncustodial parents with particular emphasis on 
matters such as the importance of parental involvement and economic 
security in the healthy development of children. The applicant shall 
describe the services to be provided, and the way in which project 
services will be coordinated with one or more of the programs or 
initiates referred to in the preceding sentence.
    (h) The Secretary shall, with respect to all demonstrations 
authorized under this section, prescribe--
            (1) the minimum length of such projects in order to assure 
        the value of the project,
            (2) the assignment techniques and other requirements for 
        the methodologies so that the results will be scientifically 
        acceptable,
            (3) the required financial contribution by the project 
        applicant,
            (4) types of expenditures that may be included under the 
        project,
            (5) the timing and nature of required reports and the 
        procedures to be followed in conducting the evaluation and 
        review of project results, and
            (6) any other rules that the Secretary finds appropriate to 
        assure the integrity of the demonstration, and to protect the 
        rights and interests of program participants who are assigned 
        to the demonstration.

SEC. 405. OFFSETS TO MANDATORY SPENDING FROM REDUCED FRAUD, WASTE, AND 
              ABUSE.

    (a) Certifications.--In order to assure achievement of the 
reductions in mandatory spending assumed in the cost estimates 
accompanying this Act, beginning in fiscal year 1998, and each of the 
five succeeding fiscal years is--
            (1) the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall 
        certify to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
        that each of the systems of data bases included in the National 
        Welfare Reform Information Clearinghouse established by Section 
        453A of the Social Security Act, (as added by section 625 of 
        this Act) are both receiving data from and providing data to 
        State and Federal agencies, and otherwise fully complying with 
        all requirements imposed by or pursuant to the provisions of 
        the Social Security Act establishing, and requiring use of the 
        components, of the Clearinghouse, and
            (2) the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
        shall determine whether, and if so certify that, all such data 
        were used fully and by the Federal agencies to which it was 
        supplied in order to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse in the 
        programs it administers and in compliance with the requirements 
        imposed by or pursuant to the Social Security Act and 
        subsection (d).
    (b) Alternative Reductions in Mandatory Spending.--If the Director 
of the Office of Management and Budget, after consultation with the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services, certifies, prior to the close 
of a fiscal year, as provided in subsection (a)(2), that, 
notwithstanding the full use of data as described in subsection (a) and 
States' implementation of applicable requirements of the Social 
Security Act, mandatory spending was not reduced (when compared to the 
levels estimated had the Clearinghouse not been established and used) 
by the amount projected in the cost estimates, then in the succeeding 
fiscal year the following reductions in spending shall occur, in the 
sequence stated, to the extent necessary to reduce mandatory spending 
by the difference between the amount that it was estimated would be 
saved (or avoided) in the year (in which the certifications are made) 
and the amount certified by the Director as having been saved (or 
avoided)--
            (1) the amount made available to the Secretary of Health 
        and Human Services under section 404(a) of this Act for 
        research, demonstrations, and technical assistance, and the 
        amount available under section 452(j) of the Social Security 
        Act (as added by section 616 of this Act) for technical 
        assistance to States with respect to child support enforcement 
        programs (each such amount being reduced proportionately); and, 
        if necessary,
            (2) amounts otherwise payable under section 403(a)(3) of 
        the Social Security Act (as amended by this Act) to States 
        which have not fully implemented all the requirements imposed 
        by or pursuant to the Social Security Act for full use of the 
        data available from any part of the National Welfare Reform 
        Information Clearinghouse shall be reduced by 3 percent (or 
        such lesser amount as is necessary to achieve the necessary 
        reductions in mandatory spending).
    (c) Related Amendments.--Section 1137(a)(2) of the Act is amended 
by striking out ``such Code,'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``such 
Code, and information available from any Registry maintained under the 
National Welfare Reform Information Clearinghouse established under 
section 453(A) (or, prior to the full establishment and operation of 
the Director of New Hires, from systems of similar information 
maintained by any other State, where cost-effective),''.
    (d) The Social Security Administration and the Secretary of the 
Treasury shall each request and fully use all information in the 
registries maintained under the National Welfare Reform Information 
Clearinghouse established under section 453A of the Social Security Act 
to the extent that such information may be useful in carrying out their 
statutory responsibilities and reducing fraud, waste, and abuse.

        that the individual (and child, if any) reside in such living 
        arrangement as a condition of the continued receipt of aid 
        under the plan (or in an alternative appropriate arrangement, 
        should circumstances change and the current arrangement cease 
        to be appropriate) or, if the State agency is unable, after

Demonstration Act of 1994''.

SEC. 732. DECLARATION OF POLICY AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

    (a) Declaration of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) to eliminate barriers that prevent recipients of Aid to 
        Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) from becoming self-
        sufficient through self-employment and asset accumulation;
            (2) to identify and implement cost-effective strategies to 
        encourage saving and entrepreneurship among the broadest 
        possible range of low-income families, particularly families 
        eligible for AFDC, and that have the potential to reduce 
        Federal spending on transfers and services to the 
        disadvantaged;
            (3) to enhance private-sector opportunities for low-income 
        families by enabling them to use their own human and financial 
        resources through expansion of business investment, job 
        creation, home ownership, and human capital investment; and
            (4) to expand the capacity of local organizations to 
        provide asset-related services that help people to help 
        themselves such as savings mechanisms, loan funds, technical 
        assistance, and entrepreneurial training.
    (b) Statement of Purpose.--The purpose of the demonstration 
projects authorized under this title is to provide for a means of 
determining--
            (1) the social, psychological, and economic effects of 
        providing low-income individuals the opportunity to accumulate 
        assets and develop and utilize entrepreneurial skills; and
            (2) the extent to which an asset-based assistance policy 
        may be used to enable individuals with low-income to achieve 
        economic self-sufficiency.

       TITLE VIII--SELF EMPLOYMENT/MICROENTERPRISE DEMONSTRATIONS

SEC. 801. DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM TO PROVIDE SELF-EMPLOYMENT 
              OPPORTUNITIES TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS AND LOW-INCOME 
              INDIVIDUALS.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services 
(hereinafter in this section referred to as the ``Secretary'') and the 
Administrator of the Small Business Administration (hereinafter in this 
section referred to as the ``Administrator''), shall, subject to the 
availability of appropriations in advance for this purpose, jointly 
develop a self-employment/microenterprise demonstration program for at 
least five years in length that will build on the experience of 
microenterprise and self-employment programs previously carried out by 
the Federal Government and other entities. The program shall be 
designed--
            (1) to identify regulatory and other barriers that prevent 
        welfare recipients and low-income individuals from increasing 
        self-sufficiency through self-employment and microenterprise 
        development, and to identify and test effective means to 
        eliminate such barriers;
            (2) to develop and evaluate promising program models, based 
        upon existing effective practices, which have the potential to 
        (A) increase the number of welfare recipients and low-income 
        individuals who become self-sufficient or increase self-
        sufficiency through self-employment and microenterprise 
        development and (B) reduce Federal spending on transfer 
        payments and services to welfare recipients and low-income 
        individuals; and
            (3) to demonstrate the potential for expanding the capacity 
        of local organizations to provide services, technical 
        assistance and loans which help welfare recipients and low-
        income individuals start or expand self-employment or 
        microenterprises.
    (b) Use of Intermediaries.--To carry out such program, the 
Secretary and Administrator shall jointly enter into agreements with 
local intermediaries that--
            (1) apply to participate in such program, and
            (2) demonstrate that they are capable of implementing the 
        provisions of the agreement.
    (c) Program Design.--In order to facilitate a randomized 
evaluation, as provided for in subsection (i)(1) below, the Secretary 
and Administrator shall identify those predominant and effective 
program models currently used by existing intermediaries to provide 
self-employment and related services to low-income individuals, and 
shall design the demonstration program in order to evaluate at least 
two distinct types of program models with contrasting levels of 
technical assistance. In designing the demonstration program, the 
Secretary and Administrator shall consult with appropriate parties, 
such as--
            (1) State and local agencies and private, nonprofit 
        organizations with experience in administering self-employment 
        programs that serve low-income individuals; and
            (2) other persons with recognized expertise in conducting 
        randomized evaluations of self-employment programs or other 
        related programs.
    (d) Assistance to Intermediaries.--
            (1) In general.--To carry out the program, the Secretary 
        and Administrator may provide the following assistance to 
        intermediaries selected to participate in the program--
                    (A) grants for providing technical assistance to 
                eligible individuals, for operating costs and for costs 
                associated with participating in the evaluation 
                provided for in subsection (i)(1) below;
                    (B) loan guarantees; and
                    (C) loans.
            (2) Technical assistance to inter-mediaries.--The Secretary 
        and Administrator may provide grants to intermediaries or 
        third-party technical assistance providers for the provision of 
        technical assistance to intermediaries selected to participate 
        in this program.
            (3) Termination of assistance.--Assistance awarded pursuant 
        to this section may fully fund project periods of up to five 
        years. The Secretary and Administrator may revoke, terminate or 
        reduce assistance to an intermediary if the intermediary fails 
        to comply with the terms of any agreement it enters into with 
        the Secretary and Administrator.
    (e) Selection of Intermediaries.--
            (1) In general.--In determining whether to enter into an 
        agreement with an intermediary under this section, the 
        Secretary and Administrator shall take into consideration--
                    (A) the intermediary's record of success in serving 
                low-income individuals;
                    (B) the intermediary's record of success in 
                providing technical assistance or loans to low-income 
                individuals for the purpose of self-employment;
                    (C) the nature, types, and costs of technical 
                assistance and/or lending methods the intermediary will 
                employ in serving the target population;
                    (D) the intermediary's ability to obtain matching 
                funds from private sources; and
                    (E) such other matters as the Secretary and 
                Administrator deem appropriate.
            (2) Additional programs.--In addition to the demonstration 
        program provided for in subsection (c) above, the Secretary and 
        Administrator may select up to five intermediaries that would 
        employ program models that would operate independently of the 
        randomized evaluation provided for in subsection (i)(1) below, 
        where such program models demonstrate promising, innovative 
        strategies that could not readily be evaluated by a randomized 
        experimental design.
    (f) Eligible Individuals.--An individual eligible to participate in 
a program conducted under this section is any low-income individual or 
welfare recipient. The Secretary and Administrator shall ensure that an 
appropriate minimum percentage of welfare recipients will participate 
in each demonstration program funded under this section.
    (g) Provisions of Agreements.--Any agreement entered into with an 
intermediary under this section shall provide that--
            (1) the intermediary has or will have an agreement with the 
        State agency responsible for administering the job 
        opportunities and basic skills training program (as provided 
        for under part F of title IV of the Social Security Act) 
        (hereinafter in this section referred to as the ``JOBS'' 
        programs) and the Work Program (as provided under part G of 
        title IV of such Act) such that JOBS and Work Program funds 
        will be used to provide support services, including training 
        and technical assistance, to welfare recipients who are 
        participating in the demonstration programs funded under this 
        section;
            (2) the intermediary will implement a program that is 
        approved by the Secretary and Administrator;
            (3) the intermediary will cooperate with any independent 
        evaluator(s) selected pursuant to subsection (i) below; and
            (4) the intermediary will meet any other obligations 
        required by the Secretary and Administrator, including any fund 
        matching requirements.
    (h) Program Administration.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary and Administrator shall 
        enter into a memorandum of understanding for the joint 
        administration of the demonstration programs provided for by 
        this section. The designation of intermediaries to participate 
        in the program shall be completed no later than 12 months after 
        the date of appropriation of funds for this Act.
            (2) Coordination with other agencies.--The Secretary and 
        Administrator shall also coordinate and consult with the 
        Secretaries of the Department of Agriculture, the Department of 
        Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Labor, on 
        regulatory or other reforms or coordinated efforts by such 
        agencies that may further eliminate barriers to self-employment 
        and legitimize microenterprise development by low-income 
        individuals and welfare recipients.
    (i) Evaluation and Report.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary, in consultation with the 
        Administrator, shall conduct or provide for an evaluation of

                housing, job training and other benefits;
                    (C) number of businesses and jobs created, number 
                of loans to welfare recipients and low-income 
                individuals, repayment rates for loans, and business 
                performance after welfare or other public assistance 
                ends;
                    (D) the relative effectiveness, cost-to-benefit 
                ratio, and degree of financial self-sufficiency of the 
                different program models employed by the intermediaries 
                participating in the demonstration program; and
                    (E) the program's impact and effectiveness in

            (2) Evaluation of additional programs.--The Secretary, in

        appropriate.
            (3) Preliminary reports to congress.--The preliminary 
        reports provided for in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this 
        subsection shall include an analysis of any regulatory or other 
        barriers that prevent welfare recipients and low-income 
        individuals from becoming self-sufficient through self-
        employment and microenterprise development.
            (4) Required information.--The Secretary may require each 
        intermediary selected pursuant to this section to provide the 
        Secretary with such information as the Secretary determines is 
        necessary to carrying out the duties of this subsection.
            (5) Early and regular information sharing with 
        intermediaries.--The Secretary, in consultation with the 
        Administrator, shall provide early and regular feedback and 
        summaries to intermediaries selected to participate pursuant to
