handle is hein.gao/gaobabeju0001 and id is 1 raw text is: REPORT BY THE U. S, General Accounting Office Federal And State Initiatives Needed To Improve Productivity And Reduce Administrative Costs Of The Aid To Families With Dependent Children And Food Stamp Programs Administrative costs in the Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Food Stamp programs have increased at a more rapid pace than benefit payments to recipients. In reviewing the operation of these programs by local welfare offices in eight states, GAO found opportunities for produc- tivity improvements that could reduce administrative costs. If these improvements were made nationwide, millions of dollars could be saved each year. Taking advantage of the opportunities for change will require action both by the federal government and the states, which have joint responsibility for ensuring efficient administration of the programs. Among actions the federal government should take are: --Establish a nationwide productivity measurement and reporting system. --Establish a joint federal-state arrangement for identi- fying streamlined techniques for prompt and efficient processing of applications for AFDC and Food Stamp benefits. --Develop uniform criteria for measuring income and assets. - -Set common time periods for processing applications and closing cases. 123347 °U 44 GAO/AFMD-84-1 8 FEBRUARY 2, 1984 1COU
