Title: "Superwaiver" Proposals in Current Welfare Reform Debate
Authors: Karen Spar, Domestic Social Policy Division 
Abstract: A scaled-down version of welfare reauthorization was included in the final agreement on budget reconciliation - the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-171, S. 1932) - but did not include provisions related to the superwaiver. Moreover, the Administration's FY2007 budget package contained no further reference to this proposal. This report will be updated to track any further legislative activity. (For a broader discussion of the issue, see CRS Report RL32859, The "Superwaiver" Proposal and Service Integration: A History of Federal Initiatives.)
