Compare the new welfare system with the old one and you w ould find a world of difference between
the two. Under the new welfare system, the law encourages w elfare clients to work on their own for a
gradual shift away from welfare, and this is not the case in th e past. Welfare clients now can develop
their talents to make money. In the past, they often cheated t o bleed the system for a few extra dollars.
Now caseworkers will gladly help their clients find appropriate j obs 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 an d declare any extra income they make.
In cases like this, caseworkers will feel greatly relieved becaus e they don't need to search for any cheating as in the past. Section B Readinq Skills I.
