Young, Walorski Lead Bicameral Bill to Improve TANF Program

0

Legislation would streamline assistance to families in need

U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) and U.S. Representative Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.-02) introduced the bicameral Coordinating Assistance for TANF Recipients Act, which aims to improve case management coordination for individuals receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) assistance.

Individuals who apply for TANF assistance often also receive benefits and services from other programs. In many cases, beneficiaries must meet with multiple caseworkers and visit different offices to satisfy the requirements of each program. By improving coordination between programs, this legislation will streamline assistance and better help recipients find jobs and become self-sufficient. 

“Beneficiaries of TANF assistance are currently forced to spend too much time and energy navigating a maze of government bureaucracy,” said Senator Young. “This legislation will streamline assistance and study evidence-based approaches to help families in need get back on their feet.”

 “Our safety net is essential to helping people who fall on hard times get back on their feet, but too often it becomes a web that traps people in a cycle of poverty,” Congresswoman Walorski said. “Human interaction is what breaks that cycle, and by letting states test innovative solutions tailored to local needs, we can empower individuals to move back to work and achieve the American Dream.”

The Coordinating Assistance for TANF Recipients Act sets aside $300 million for states to test methods of coordinating case management between multiple programs. Each project would be studied using a high-quality evaluation to determine whether the coordinated case management projected was effective in helping welfare recipients move to work.

Senator Young previously introduced the legislation while a member of the House of Representatives.

Youth Worker Cafe in Corydon Nov. 8

0

Experts say grit – the character trait that encompasses persistence, determination and resilience – is a stronger predictor of college success than a student’s SAT score, IQ or high school GPA. Another big part of a student’s success, both academically and in other areas of life, is having what’s known as a growth mindset. That includes the ability to embrace challenges, learn from criticism and find lessons in others’ successes.

The Indiana Youth Institute, Boys and Girls Clubs of Crawford and Harrison counties, and Purdue Extension Harrison County are teaming up to host a free event for educators, youth workers, community leaders, parents and other caring adults to learn more about how to help foster those character traits in young people.

This Youth Worker Café will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, November 8 at the Purdue Extension Harrison County office located at 247 Atwood Street in Corydon.

Tracy Butler, IYI’s director of college and career counseling, will speak to attendees about how to discover important concepts like grit and a growth mindset. Butler will share practical ideas for cultivating these character traits among young people and the impact doing so can have on their futures.

As part of IYI’s Youth Worker Café program, the forum and lunch are free, but reservations are required. RSVP at www.iyi.org/calendar. If you have trouble with the link, please contact IYI Statewide Outreach Manager Debbie Jones via email at djones@iyi.org. For more information about the café, contact IYI’s Southwest Outreach Manager Joe Shrode at jshrode@iyi.org.

Youth Worker Cafés are designed to bring together local youth workers to build relationships and inspire collaborations that will benefit children. Attendees may bring business cards and program information to share, and may arrive 15 minutes early or stay 15 minutes for networking.
