| Abstract | This hearing reviews testimony concerning H.R. 2246, the Jobs for Employable Dependent Individuals Act (JEDI). JEDI is a voluntary program whereby states receive additional funds to fight the problem of chronic welfare dependency and poverty. The bill would require the existing Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) to target job training efforts at long-term and potentially long-term welfare recipients. States that participate would get bonuses from the federal welfare savings for placing long-term welfare recipients in unsubsidized jobs and helping them stay employed for either one, two, or three years. Testimony was presented by three expert witnesses, including representatives of the Private Industry Councils (PIC) of Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) and Toledo (Ohio), and the deputy secretary of human resources of the State of Virginia. Overall support for JEDI was expressed, but concerns included the following: (1) eligibility requirements; (2) incentive formulas; (3) health care benefits; (4) development of employment and training systems by the human services system that would compete with PIC and JTPA; (5) development of data collection systems; (6) funding for administrative costs; (7) availability of accurate cost information; (8) assurance that local organizations, PICs, and Service Delivery Areas would receive direct financial benefits; (9) sources of start-up funding; and (10) performance standards.
