โŒ SB67

Regards support payments under the Ohio Works First program

Current Status: In Senate Committee (Government Oversight and Reform)

Summary

The bill amends sections of the Revised Code related to the Ohio Works First program, focusing on the pass-through of support payments. It establishes rules for eligibility, participation, and the collection and distribution of support payments owed to participants. The bill also outlines the conditions under which assistance groups may continue to receive benefits and the financial standards for assistance.

Rationale

The bill expands government involvement in welfare programs, which conflicts with Libertarian principles advocating for minimal government intervention and the promotion of individual self-sufficiency. It imposes regulations on eligibility and assistance that contradict the Libertarian emphasis on personal responsibility and free markets.

Risks and Concerns

  • Increased government dependency
  • Potential for bureaucratic inefficiency
