Because of the block grant. the entitlement nature of the program is ended. We ask ablebQdied people between 18 and 50 who receive food stamps to do some work for their benefits. We reform the SSI program to help stop monthly checks from going to prisoners and checks that were going to healthy children. And we finally tell recent immigrants that the promise of America does not automatically include a welfare check. But many issues remain unaddressed. and I believe the most serious is the everincreasing illegitimacy rate. In 1994. onethird of our children were born into homes where no father ever lived.
