The second principle is work. not welfare. Ablebodied beneficiaries will. for the first time ever. be required to work for their benefits. This principle is designed to restore dignity to the individual and fairness to the system. Third. welfare for noncitizens and felons will be limited. The bill provides adequate exceptions for emergency benefits. for refugees. and for those who have contributed to this Nation by paying taxes for 10 years or through military service. Fourth. the bill encourages personal responsibility to halt rising illegitimacy rates. This legislation seeks to counter that trend by increasing efforts to establish paternity and enforce child support orders.
