Sumario:Congress must reauthorize the sweeping 1996 welfare reform legislation by October 1, 2002.

Among those issues are the five-year time limit, provisions to reduce out-of-wedlock births, the adequacy of child care funding, problems with Medicaid and food stamp receipt by working families, and work requirements.
