... goals, establishing financial penalties, and giving rewards (Froomkin, Dan). States and even counties are designing their own programs for the poor picking and choosing from approaches they hope will get results. Many of the new approaches require subjective judgments. A human being has to decide when individual recipients are ready for work and should be cut off from assistance. Those responsibilities are falling to welfare caseworkers, who in the past did little more than hand over checks.
