Will you still get child support payment if the father is on welfare?
Child support is calculated based on income of the father (or mother in such a case). If the father is unemployed his child support will still be calculated based on whatever minimum wage is in your state. The only time this does not apply is when the father is on disability. Welfare shouldn't matter.

Why is the GDP not an accurate measure of welfare?
When GDP is divided among a population, it gives a average value for every person. But within a population, it is common to some have people with higher wealth and welfare and some people with lower welfare. By showing an average value for each person, it may be over-valueing or under-valueing an individuals welfare.
The impact of ww11 on the welfare state?
World War 2 made people realise how bad poverty was. The Government was taking control of the country like never before. They introduced rationing, evacuation and also provided homes for those who had lost theirs in the bombings. They had never intervened this much before, and it was all because they wanted to win the war. Britains basically thought, if the Government can do all this during the war, why can't it carry on once the war is over? A report was writting by William Beveridge claiming there were "5 Giants" (problems) that the Government needs to solve in order to stop the poverty etc. This report was a best seller. The country loved it as it gave them hope for the future. These 5 Giants were; Want, Disease, Ignorance, Squalor and Idleness. The report said the Government needs to get involved like they did during the war and introduce schemes/laws to help solve the Giants. They introduced the laws also known as... The Welfare State. 2 of the Giants were tackled under Churchill. Then Labour won the 1945 General Election because they were in favour for the Beveridge Report and Churchill thought that Britain was "too poor" and shouldn't introduce the laws quite yet. So, the other 3 Giants were tackled under Clement Atlee (Labour)

What was the purpose of direct relief during the Great Depression?
In the Great Depression, in the US, direct relief might be a "soup kitchen" created by any organization, such as the Salvation Army. By providing food to needy people, this food relief met the immediate and direct relief those unable to feed themselves.Other forms of "relief" can be interpreted as "long term relief" programs created by the Federal government to relieve the burden of unemployed workers. The FERA act of 1933 created a program that gave funds to local authorities to address the problems associated with unemployment. This type of program not only provided funds after appropriate forms were filled out and approved, but also gave working employees some confidence that future unemployment would not mean total destitution.
What percent of Americans are on welfare?
If you use those who are supported by Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)--best described as a federal largess to indigent families with dependent children--as stated by the Dept. of Health the data suggests 1.7% of the total population that derive over 50% of their income from Welfare supports.
The number stated that receive any portion of their support from from welfare assistance--including food stamps--it is 29,900,000 or roughly 800% of the total population in the United States.
This breaks down to:
39% white 11,661,000 of 29,900,000 recipients
38% black 11,362,000 of 29,900,000
17% Hispanic 5,083,000 of 29,900,000
The strictest sense of the term though would be those getting income directly from the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services which is about 8% of the total population that receives some form of assistance and 1.7% that receive most of their income (50% or more) from these programs.
Programs like unemployment insurance or social security payments can technically be counted as "welfare" in some instances though they are differentiated from federal programs like TANF or food stamps.
It is a social system in which the state takes overall responsibility for the welfare of its citizens, providing health care, education, unemployment compensation and social security. There are two models of organizing a welfare state: # The state is primarily concerned with directing the resources to "the people most in need". This requires a tight bureaucratic control over the people concerned, with a maximum of interference in their lives to establish who are "in need" and minimize cheating. The unintended result is that there is a sharp divide between the receivers and the producers of social welfare, between "us" and "them", the producers tending to dismiss the whole idea of social welfare because they will not receive anything of it. This model is dominant in the US. # The state distributes welfare with as little bureaucratic interference as possible, to all people who fulfill easily established criteria (e.g. having children, receiving medical treatment, etc). This requires high taxation, of which almost everything is channeled back to the taxpayers with minimum expenses for bureaucratic personnel. The intended - and also largely achieved - result is that there will be a broad support for the system since most people will receive at least something. This model was constructed by the Scandinavian ministers Karl Kristian Steincke and Gustav Möller in the 30s and is dominant in Scandinavia.
What are the disadvantages of residual welfare?
there are several negative impacts associated with the residual welfare model. these include:
1) sometimes the people who are supposed to gain the assistance ends up with nothing due to high rise in corruption rates.
2) it limits commitment to those marginal and deserving groups of people who lack sufficient resources
3) since its temporary, it does not take into consideration the fact that some people have disabilities while at the same time it assumes that everyone has a family yet in actual fact its not plausible
When was the Welfare State in Britain created?
The Liberal government of 1906-14 established a kind of 'poor person's welfare state'. Provision was wretched (for example, a weekly pension of five shillings for the over-70s) and very patchy. Welfare was expanded in the inter-war period, partly as a result of the Great Depression. It is Attlee's government of 1945-51 that it usually credited with the foundation of the modern welfare state.

What are problems with Welfare?
Welfare fraud. You have people getting it who DO NOT need it or deserve it. You have illegals that get it and have not even paid into the system and that weakens it even more. There are people who need it and can't get it. Some people make $1 or 2 too much to get any help but still they don't make enough to even pay bills..Those that do get it just barely get anything at all.. I know someone who is on disability and for years got ONLY $10 a month in food stamps..which she was very thankful for but what will that buy.. very littel and certainly can't live healthy on that.. so you eat unhealthy and it causes more health problems which cost more money in the long run for health care cost, etc.WHICH isnt' covered and out of her pocket. Then there are people who KNOW that the more kids they have, the more assistance they get.. Some people have kids JUST for the welfare.. You can have 4 kids and get $500-600 a month in food stamps.. if you don't use all that.. you can selll it for drugs or whatever. (and yes, people still do that even though it's on EBT card). For those on food stamps, govt low income housing, etc who choose to try to work, the govt punishes you. My friend went to work and out of every $10.00 she made, she cleared $2,00 before child care and fuel. her rent went up, her food stamps got cut and she lost her medical coverage so in the end.. she was better off not working.. People want to call welfare recipients lazy and irresponsible.. It's not that.. It's just by the time you get punished for working, it's cheaper to sit home.. The govt should reward you for trying to better yourself but they don't.
The foundations for the welfare state were laid in the 1930s with Roosevelt's New Deal. The form we see it now largely congealed in the 1960s.
The article linked to the right from a Houghton Mifflin textbook claims the roots go back further.
How does communism form poverty?
Communism has been established terribly. While designed as a future utopia where government will eventually cease to exist, communist states usually turn into authoritarian or even totalitarian states. The less democracy in a country, the more poverty. This is because freedoms are dismantled, citizens usually pay high taxes, jobs have lower pay for "fairness", etc.
What percentage of US budget is welfare?
It depends on how you look at it. A lot of spending gets moved around so it can be hard to track, for example some military spending isn't strictly allocated to the department of defense but it works its way there through other programs. Looking at the 2012. for entitlement spending there is mandatory spending, things like medicare and medicade, but there is also entitlement spending that goes on in funds that are allocated say to the department of health services. Without actually going through each departments books you can only give a rough estimitation. Here is a very rough guidline, it completely ignores how the departments are allocating spending.
Mandatory entitlements (Unemployment, Medicaid, Medicare, SS) : 2,009 million dollars about 56% of the 2010 Federal Budget
SS: 19%
Medicaid: 8%
Unemployment: 16%
Medicare: 12 %
Defense Spending (including overseas operations): 663 million dollars or 18%
Like I said earlier, these figures are probably lower than they should be because I am only using what the Feds have allocated specifically to those programs. Any monies that end up being used for those programs via other departments isn't shown.
Also, a nitpicking point. Anyone that says half our budget is used on defense is either lying or doesn't understand that they are simply looking at the discretionary budget. Of the federal budget of 3,551 million dollars, 1,378 of discretionary. Military spending is part of the discretionary budget. It is a trick politicians and overzealous activist often like to use to confuse and mislead the public. The truth of the matter is that both military and entitlement spending is way beyound what is sustainable.
*I've seen other figures that show this around 25% of total federal budget.
In Missouri welfare pays 264 cash, 134 foodstamps, medicaid.
