Social services could be delivered remotely / by video calling

U.S. child support could go to parents rather than the state

The welfare cliff could be fixed in public benefits to not discourage work / marriage

Marriage disincentives in public benefit programs could change

Families could lead themselves out of poverty

U.S. TANF work requirements could be improved

Public benefits could be deposited directly into savings accounts

Citizens could receive a basic / guaranteed income (with restrictions or on a EBT card)

Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) could have states accountable for outcome based performance measures

A welfare emergency fund could be triggered into action by a poor economy
