• Assistance program rules. i.e., AFDC, Food Stamps, Medicaid, should promote the greatest <br /> efficiency and most cost-effective methods of providing benefits to citizens in need. All programs <br /> should have uniform and consistent rules and regulations, among themselves, i.e. reserve limits, <br /> count income the same in all programs, etc. Priority should be given to simplification which <br /> would generate enormous savings to invest in families' efforts to become self-supporting and <br /> self-sufficient. <br /> • Program rules and regulations should be easily understood by the general public,policy makers, <br /> recipients and providers. Rules and regulations should be consistently applied among the <br /> programs.. Rules and regulations therefore, should be user-friendly,jargon-free, fair, equitable, <br /> simple and outcome oriented. <br /> • Program rules and regulations should recognize the importance of the family unit by <br /> encouraging families to stay together and parents to assume financial and parental responsibility of <br /> children. <br /> • Policies for assistance programs must reward responsible behaviors and achievements on the <br /> part of individuals and families. Policies should also reward employers in the community who hire <br /> welfare recipients through incentives and by simplifying the record keeping requirements for <br /> employers. Policies should encourage employers'provision of medical benefits and assistance <br /> with child care to prevent the "cliff effect" which forces people to fall back on to welfare <br /> programs after working, when their transitional Medicaid and child care benefits expire. <br /> NCACDSS Guiding Principles and the Association's <br /> Positions on Welfare Reform <br />
