Prior to welfare refrom states acted primarily as a conduit for the combined state and federal match. There was a body of case law, rules and regs, mostly federal that the states had to comply with governing elligiblity if they wanted the match...and they all wanted and needed the match. Now there is mayhem. Ill-conceived programs operating under state waivers etc...which muddy new rules and regs. Little to no applicable case law to fall back on...You're a lawyer...I think you can get the picture. You're right in that it has been/is the states actually handing the money out (or now NOT handing the money out) as the case may be. Their incompetency was much more limited in the past due to the solid body of rules, regs and case law that existed under AFDC. Now it's free to run wild.
