Notes that today's public welfare environment is driven by nation's most recent variation on welfare reform as embodied in Family Support Act of 1988. Reviews this act, focusing on welfare-to-work programs, and discusses implications for social work roles in public welfare. Delineates roles in direct practice, management, policy analysis, staff development, advocacy, and research. (Author/NB)
