XV.
Compare the new welfare system with the old one and you would find a
world of difference between
the two. Under the new welfare system, the law encourages welfare
clients to work on their own for a
gradual shift away from welfare, and this is not the case in the past.
Welfare clients now can develop
their talents to make money. In the past, they often cheated to bleed
the system for a few extra dollars.
Now caseworkers will gladly help their clients find appropriate jobs
rather than act like detectives to
try to seek out any unreported properties. Today many welfare clients
have made a choice to live a life
of complete honesty and they tell the truth to caseworkers and declare
any extra income they make.
In cases like this, caseworkers will feel greatly relieved because
they don't need to search for any
cheating as in the past.
