Report No. AIMD-94-52FS
Subject
Summary:

The states have developed a number of computer systems, many of them quite costly, to help run their welfare programs. Federal assistance to these projects has totaled more than $8.6 billion so far, and the government may end up paying the lion's share of $10.7 million in additional automated system costs projected through the end of the decade. Without effective federal oversight and monitoring of state development efforts, the government has few guarantees that its investment will yield systems that achieve their expected benefits and provide effective service to welfare clients.
