The purpose of the Nationwide Blueprint for Title IV-D Welfare Reform is very simple: "To reestablish the program as a safety-net for those that need it most" and to prevent States from forcing the inclusion of already self-sufficient and affluent families into State run welfare programs at the expense of the U.S. and local taxpayers.

Preventing the States from using Title IV-D welfare to generate revenues is essential for program success and is required for States to focus on providing a safety-net for needy families. Improved administration and legislation that limits Title IV-D incentives for increasing the number of broken homes will keep over participation problems from plaguing Title IV-D and allow States to focus on needy families.
