how about also tacking on some requirement about family size?! don't have a job or can't afford housing or food? how about start off with not having more kids?

I've always wondered about offering money to be "fixed". Guessing that would cause rampant VD amongst the poor population that takes up that offer.

You could go the China route and do an outright ban on having more than one child, but the ACLU would have a field day. And China also has major social issues of their own because of the ban. Law of unintended consequences all over the place here.

That said, requiring that you have no more children after the first time going on welfare sounds like a reasonable start to a policy though...
