If an Indian does not live on a reservation does she still have all the rights under the Indian Child Welfare Act?

It depends on how the specific tribe defines membership/enrollment for their tribe. For instance, some tribes say that a person must be at least 1/4 Indian blood in order to be enrolled in their tribe. A determination must be made by the tribe regarding a persons elibibility for enrollment. The residence of the child is not the critical factor---it is enrollment or eligibility for enrollment that is the determining factor.

If you get married to someone 18 or older can you still receive public assistance if you are pregnant?

It depends on your state, your income, and your citenship status. So firstly, you can't receive cash assistance (what most people call welfare) if you're not a citizen. Secondly, the most important consideration for eligibility for cash assistance is your income. When welfare benefits were decentralized in 1996, states gained the ability to control who is eligible for cash assistanc called TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families). So, every state's income eligilibity requirements are different. Typically you have to be under the povery threshold or within like 20% of it. The poverty threshold for a family of 4 is $20,000, i don't know what it is for a single person or pregant person. Thirdly, it depends on your state's policies regarding marriage. Though traditionally, cash assistance was meant for single parents and their children, many states do have programs for low-income married couples, especially since part of PRWORA is geared toward marriage promotion. However the timelines for many of the programs for married people I believe are shorter than the TANF timelines for single people with children. In most states individuals are only allowed to receive cash assistance for 2 years at a time and for 5 years in their lifetime. But i think married couples only get 6- 12 months of assistance. Also while receiving cash assistance, you'll have to prove that you're looking for work during that time or are improving your work skills through education. However, having a baby who is less than one year old, if the mother is over 18, is usually an exemption from the work requirement. If you are under 18, most TANF requirements would require you to return to school or work within about 4-6 months after having the baby. As a side note, if you are married at the time of the baby's birth, the person you are married to will be listed as the legal father and he will be responsible for caring for the child unless he can prove he is not the biological father. If at some point in the future you divored, and you received cash assistance and he had a child support order against him, you would not receive that child support, it would go to the state to pay back the cash assistance. Also, if you decide not to marry him, and you are receiving cash assistance after the baby is born, the welfare office will probably make you identify the father and they will assist you/make you file for child support as part of your continued eligibility. The best way to find out about your eligibility for cash assistance is to go to your local public assistance office (they're called something different in every state - you might want to go to your State's home web page and see if there is a listing there). Your state might also list the eligibility requirements on their web page.

Also, if you're under 18, then it might be a whole different story. Pregnant/parenting teens under the new TANF laws are not allowed to receive cash assistance if they live on their own. They have to live with a parent/guardian and I believe the parent/guardian has to be the one to apply for the cash assistance and it then counts against their own 5 year time limit.

Regarding publicly funded health insurance, Medicaid(title 19). You would be eligible right now, if you are pregnant and low-income. The income requirements for pregnant women and for children are higher, and once the baby is born, she/he could also be eligible for SCHIP (State Children's Health Insurance Program - Title 21) as well. That program's income requirement is $40,000 for a family of 4. There are also specific Medicaid programs just for pregnant women - so if you don't have mdeical insurance, you should definitely seek that out.

You would also be eligible for WIC - women infants and children. They provide coupons for free food items such as cereals, milk, cheese, and juice (beccuase of the nutrition pregnant women need). And you might be eligible for Food stamps based on your income - which would be advisable, again to make sure you're getting good nutrition.

How long can you stay on welfare?

Some people have corrupted this system and stayed on it indefinitely. This system is and should be used only for as long as you need it. Unknown.

The above is not true. With the passage of Welfare Reform under the Clinton Administration, there is a time limit as to how long someone can stay on welfare, and it can vary from state to state depending on circumstances. It is a myth that healthy people can stay on for life or from generation to generation. Welfare is administrered by the states using federal dollars. Many/Most states have work programs for the undereducated and unemployable, teaching the skills, occupations, interview techniques, resume creation, dressing and grooming.

Welfare should not be confused with Social Security disability, which is an entirely different program that a worker would have paid into, and must have worked a certain amount of time in order to be eligible.

Thank goodness someone knew the fact that Welfare Reform was instituted in the Clinton administration. Typically, 5 years lifetime is the limit to collect welfare.

Social Security has two systems available for people who cannot work. One is Social Security Disability which is based on the number of quarters one has worked before a disability occurs. One can ONLY be allowed to collect disability (SSDI) if one has a permanent and total disability that prevents any ability to work in the competitive marketplace.

The alternative program, for people who do not have enough quarters to provide a minimum income (about $800 a month) is Social Security Income or SSI. Often times people who suffer from severe mental illness and have never worked, or people who have suffered from a catastrophic medical event and have worked few quarters are eligible for SSI. Like Disability, you can collect throughout your lifetime.

Both SSDI and SSI patients are required to be examined periodically in order to assess continued disability.

How are welfare programs now managed at both levels of government?

Welfare programs in many countries are managed through a partnership between federal and state or local governments, with each level overseeing different aspects of the programs. At the federal level, guidelines and funding are established, often through legislation, to ensure a baseline of support and eligibility criteria. State and local governments then administer these programs, tailoring them to meet the specific needs of their populations while complying with federal standards. This collaborative approach aims to address local needs effectively while maintaining consistency across the nation.

In the European Union, the Animal Welfare Act mandates humane treatment and prohibits unnecessary suffering of animals.

Why we shouldn't have welfare?

People abuse it when its not really needed to them... just free money. There needs to be drug testing so we arent giving drugs to tweakers that need to sober up to recieve help. There should be a time period for how long someone could recieve benefits before being cut off, thus having welfare help those who are mentally and phsically able to find a job instead of depending on the working people because its unfair how someone works their butt off to give a check to someone who stays home all month. We should have people who used welfare pay it back in some way when they get a job to help our economy. too much money is going into welfare instead of creating jobs. we need jobs, not lazy people who depend on others.

Sincerely,

What is the principal of mutual benefit and welfare?

Mutual benefit and welfare is a phrase that is most often identified as one of two basic tenets of traditional Japanese judo. (The other being maximum efficiency with minimal effort). The phrase in Japanese is Jita-Kyoei. This concept has many different meaning to many different people, but at it essence the gentleman who made this phrase popular was Jigaro Kano, the founder of Judo. Dr. Kano's early writings indicate that he intended this to mean that judo practice (as an extension of life practice itself) should help to perfect one's character. This means that each individual should conduct themselves in their daily life to have benefit and welfare of themselves in the forefront of decisions. Futhermore, this should carry on to conduct with others at all times.
