ROLL CALL: GOP May Seek Vote on Welfare Waiver Proposal. “Charging President Barack Obama with seeking to roll back work requirements for an aid program for low-income people, Congressional Republicans may seek a vote that would repeal a White House move designed to give states more flexibility in implementing the program. . . . Hatch’s comments come after the Government Accountability Office said the Department of Health and Human Services’ announcement that states could seek waivers from certain compliance requirements under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program was subject to the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to keep agency rules from taking effect. Such a resolution cannot be filibustered and needs only a simple majority in the Senate to pass if acted on during a 60-day window.”
