Should there be fewer or more restrictions on current welfare benefits?

It is absolutely disgusting. The minimal benefit you get from ow. I paid into this all my life only to get hurt and have to go on ow. No wonder we have so many homeless people on drugs. I totally understand now

alter benefits for immigrants to allow a certain amount of time but after they need to find employment and can't stay on forever

More, completely reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income, while increasing benefits for the disabled who are physically incapable of working.

The welfare should be flexible depending on the needs of the individual. it shouldn't be a one size fits all

I just think we need to be more careful about who gets approved for welfare

Fewer restrictions should be implemented to individuals who show medical records of consistent medical issues across 5 year period.

More, but increase benefits for the elderly and disabled and redeem the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

Reform the system to supplement a working income so people's total income (paid work plus welfare) is above the poverty level in whichever city/town they live

There shouldn't be any restrictions on those living on welfare by the lawful creed of the knight code.

Fewer, increase benefits for elderly and disabled folks as well as reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

I think UBI- universal basic income would cover that.

what ever does a better job and is cheaper

People should be taught about finances in school.

No enough information

Reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income for those who are able to work. Make sure it provides sufficient income to those who cannot work.

Don’t know. Increase benefits to those in need while requiring them and encouraging them to explore snd use their skill set on a volunteer or paid position.

I believe there should be a time limit. Some people live off assistance their whole lives.

Welfare should be coupled with, and conditional upon retraining or educational initiatives.

We should end social welfare programs and let the free market decide

Fewer, current benefits do not provide enough support, there needs to be a heavier emphasis on vocational training, and job hunting assistance.

Welfare ought to be based on people taking steps to improve their lives (rehab, completing training or education).

UBI replaces the need for this

There should be no restrictions at all.

welfare benefits directed to getting people off welfare

Welfare should be distributed and capped on a case by case basis and as part of receiving financial aid and programs there should be requirements to document spending and consult with resources such as financial planners and "return-to-work specialists"

Reduce overall and let voluntarists help those in need of welfare

Welfare benefits ought to be dependent on completion /continued education, or vocational training programs, as well as counseling.

yes but give it a bit more to immigrants.

We should have no welfare and give the people a job, and if they cant work efficiently their income is reduced to only the bare minimum until they can work efficiently.

No restrictions at all.

Fewer, reform the benefits so they better help the people who need them and don’t conflict with other programs.

More, deny benefits to immigrants but increase benefits for the disabled, elderly and low income families.

Regardless, remove welfare benefits.

More, and only for citizens only for those who REALLY need it (Poor, elderly, disabled, etc)! it should be a crutch to help you get a boost, not to live on! And require background checks for welfare!

Replace this with universal basic income for adults and children

Keep it the same but limit time to collect and help find a job for the recipient if they are capable to work

Fewer, raise the rates to a liveable income.

a universal basic income is better

Should be determined on a case by case basis to ensure that people who actually need help get it and to reduce abuse of the system. It is more skewed to preventing fraud rather than helping.

It should be part of the universal basic income system

More. Welfare should be tied to vocational training and education, save for medical conditions which might prevent a person from being able to work.

Should be replaced with universal basic income.

Welfare benefits should be replaced with a guaranteed livable income

No, but more should be done to ensure benefits are not being abused

More restrictions as this will give benefit the ones who really need it

I support completely replacing our existing welfare system with UBI

More, and deny benefits to immigrants while increasing benefits for the elderly and disabled

Fewer, but deny to immigrants and increase benefits for disabled and elderly/vets

Welfare should be tied to educational, vocational, and treatment options.

More, and those who receive benefits for longer than 6 months should have to begin showing where the money was spent. Additionally, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income.

Fewer. Restrictions prevent individuals from being able to better themselves. Rates must go up dramatically. A fair UBI would be best.

Should work for wages….restaurant….municipal clean-up….volunteer at school….(supervise outdoor play at school) or band unless disabled

Collapse the welfare state

welfare benefits should only go to those who need them the most, the poor and disenfranchised. It costs more in taxes plus upfront costs to maintain the same system, it would be better just to have smaller healthcare facilities compete for your dollar.
