I think that any attempt to reduce the need for the program needs to come from creating/updating social programs that help to put people to work rather than just changing eligibility around and hoping people get the message and get off their asses. That's not an effective strategy, but it is what the Republican policy banks on. It's voodoo economics, as Bush 41 said about Reaganomics.
