Sec. 646.100  What is the purpose of the Indian and Native American Welfare-to-Work (INA WtW) Program?


    The INA WtW Program, authorized by title V, section 5001(c) of the 
Balanced Budget Act of 1997, is a program to complement the Indian 
provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity 
Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA--commonly called the ``Welfare Reform 
Act'') [Pub. L. 104-193, 42 U.S.C. 601 et seq.] by providing additional 
funds to eligible federally-recognized Indian tribes to facilitate the 
transition of public assistance recipients from welfare dependency to 
self-sufficiency by helping recipients to obtain lasting unsubsidized 
employment. The INA WtW Program is authorized by title V, section 
5001(c) of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-33), which 
amended title IV-A of the Social Security Act by adding section 
412(a)(3) [42 U.S.C. 612(a)(3)].
