US EditionGov. Stitt signs executive order aimed at improving transparency with welfare programs
Governor Stitt's executive order mandates audits of major welfare programs to reduce fraud, eliminate benefit cliffs, and promote job training for adults receiving assistance.
- On Monday, Governor Kevin Stitt signed an executive order to launch a broad review of Oklahoma welfare programs to improve transparency and accountability.
- Stitt framed the review as a tool to combat fraud, eliminate benefit cliffs and promote long-term self-sufficiency, directing agencies to reduce errors and seek federal waivers following President Donald Trump’s invitation.
- The order requires agencies to audit error rates, fraud protocols, eligibility rules, and deliver an Oklahoma Welfare to Work Report within 180 days, with implementation plans due in 180 days, and to implement integrity measures including ID verification and data matching.
- Advocates warned that tightening rules could push families toward crisis, as Hunger Free Oklahoma urged safeguarding benefit cliffs and staffing, while childcare providers pledged to monitor subsidy impacts closely.
- The order ties reform to public-private and faith-based programs, highlighting partnerships like the Be a Neighbor program and urging faith-based and nonprofit community support for job connections.
