No Backup Plan For Indiana's Welfare System

By Scott Sarvay

INDIANA (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Indiana has no back-up plan in place if IBM doesn't correct problems with the welfare system it runs for the state.

Indiana hired IBM to run a "privatized" welfare system.

Officials have asked the company to submit an improvement plan.
