I'm a single mother and I've heard that the new welfare reform bill will affect me. How will it affect me?

The new welfare reform law has been designed to encourage people who receive welfare benefits to find jobs or participate in job training programs. It also seeks to reduce fraud and abuse of the system by requiring recipients to work or train for at least 20 hours per week. Additionally, states have the option of implementing work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents.
