A very easy and fruitful first step would be to end the nonsense that not only discourages work, but makes it dam near impossible. You should never lose more in benefit than you make working. For every $1 of income, reduce benefits by $.50. ALWAYS create a positive incentive to work. This would at least get the folks who actually want to work moving towards independence.
