Abstract

ABSTRACTWith the implementation of welfare reform, welfare clients were faced with a ticking clock before they lost their cash assistance. During this time, welfare caseworkers worked closely with clients to help prepare them for the future and to gain self-sufficiency. The relationship between welfare caseworkers and welfare clients was instrumental in helping ensure success. With newfound forms of discretionary funds, caseworkers had the ability to individualize plans for clients which ultimately brought the notion of discretion into the equation. This article draws upon in-depth interviews with welfare clients to better understand the significance of the relationship between caseworker and client.KEYWORDS: Social service caseworkersTANFwelfarewelfare reform Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

期刊介绍： The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
