There still is some welfare,
-
but there's a lifetime five-year limit on actual welfare;
-
after you've been collecting
-
it for five years, you are disqualified.

It denied welfare to immigrants who are not citizens and
-
it limited food stamps to unemployed, childless adults.

-
but it was trying to eliminate a moral hazard problem.
