On August 22, 1996, President Bill Clinton signed welfare reform into law, fulfilling his campaign promise to âend welfare as we know it.â Twenty years later, it remains the center of a contentious debate over whether it helped, or hurt, the countryâs poorest single mothers and their children.
Welfare programs for the poor has been around since the 1800's. 1939 unemployment and AFDC programs were adopted to aide those out of work and their children. President Roosevâ¦elt began welfare help and establishing Social Security during the depression. In 1996 President Clinton signed a Reconcilition Act to encourage people to get off welfare and to get jobs.
