    Abstract
    The current study examined the barriers and perceptions of Welfare Reform of welfare recipients answering questions through a survey in Alaska's Northern Regional area (Appendix A). The areas covered in the survey concerned family health and well-being, barriers to getting a job, and how they are managing on and off welfare. An area of central concern was to understand how families reported that they were managing after closure. The major problem identified was the ability to pay monthly bills and purchase food. Families were also concerned with finding an appropriate childcare provider and their inability to obtain health care coverage. Most individuals worked part-time jobs with little or no benefits and had problems obtaining health care for their families. Areas for further research were identified. Doubts are raised about how states are administering their welfare programs and how much information clients now about their entitlements. The current study is consistent with other studies that show families lack many of the important resources that are essential for self-sufficiency; i.e., well-paying jobs for low skilled workers, transportation, childcare, health services, support networks, and the financial means to meet basic needs.
