   CWEP's Implementation Results To Date

   Raise Questions About The Administration's

   Proposed Mandatory Workfare Program

   Community Work Experience Programs (CWEP's) provide
   work experience and training to Aid to Families with
   Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients. The administration
   now proposes to make CWEP's mandatory in all states and
   to phase out the Work Incentive Program (WIN). The aim of
   this workfare proposal is to reduce AFDC program costs

   nities.

   GAO surveyed current CWEP implementation in all 16
   states that had operational programs as of February 1,
   1983, and found that evidence is lacking on whether
   CWEP reduces the long-term costs of the AFDC program.
   However, early experience with CWEP's shows that admin-
   istration proposals to replace WIN with an expanded CWEP
   and job search program mnytlarom short-term costs and
   also shift more of these cootstO the states.
