But Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee aim to advance a reauthorization this week that would change the name to “Jobs and Opportunity with Benefits and Services.” The committee is scheduled to move the legislative package Wednesday.

It also would institute new metrics for measuring states’ success on getting recipients into jobs.
