TITLE XXX SOCIAL WELFARE
Chapter 414 Family Self-sufficiency
414.025 Legislative intent.
414.025 Legislative intent.--
(1) It is the intent of the Legislature that families in this state be strong and economically self-sufficient so as to require minimal involvement by an efficient government.
(2) The purpose of this act is to develop opportunities for families which provide for their needs, enhance their well-being, and preserve the integrity of the family free of impediments to self-reliance.
(3) The WAGES Program shall emphasize work, self-sufficiency, and personal responsibility while meeting the transitional needs of program participants who need short-term assistance toward achieving independent, productive lives and gaining the responsibility that comes with self-sufficiency.
(4) The WAGES Program shall take full advantage of the flexibility provided under federal law, which allows for efficiency through a simplified program and encourages a program designed to focus on results rather than process.
(5) This chapter does not entitle any individual or family to assistance under the WAGES Program or Title IV-A of the Social Security Act, as amended.
