Golden Page 1 of 1 email article to friend printer friendly version most popular articles read comments review article add to favorites HHS News Release "The study released today by the Manpower Demonstration Research Corporation on the Minnesota Family Investment Program provides comprehensive results of a state welfare reform program that increased employment and earnings, and showed for the first time that a well-designed program can reduce poverty, promote two-parent families, decrease domestic violence and improve child well-being. The report also found that children spent more time in stable, formal child care combined with higher family employment and income. This assessment adds to the urgency for the Administration's $817 million proposal to help more parents find reliable, affordable and quality child care. "A key feature of the program is that it enabled working families to supplement earnings and truly make work pay. This feature appears to be central to the strong results and adds urgency to state and Federal efforts to provide supports to working families, including child care, health care, nutritional assistance, and earnings supplements such as the EITC.

Programs and/or Services : The Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) is a welfare reform initiative developed by the state of Minnesota and launched in 1994. MFIP was first implemented as a demonstration in several counties. In January 1998, Minnesota extended a modified version of MFIP statewide as Minnesota’s version of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. MFIP includes two components: financial incentives to encourage and support work, and mandatory participation in employment-focused services for long-term welfare recipients. Specific features include: - Employed parents are allowed to keep part of their welfare benefits while earning a salary to ensure that families are financially better off working than not working.

Guide to Effective Programs for Children and Youth MINNESOTA FAMILY INVESTMENT PROGRAM (MFIP) OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM Target population: Families on social welfare As hinted to in (b), MFIP was designed to provide slightly different services according to whether the participant family was a long-term welfare recipient or a short(er)-term welfare recipient. Families that had already experienced "long-term receipt" (over 24 months during the 36-month period prior to program entry) were immediately required to participate in the employment-focused services. Shorter-term recipients and new applicants to welfare were not required to participate in these services at the debut of the program, but could be required to if they later became "long-term recipients." Only families with children under the age of 1 or in which the parent was working 30 or more hours per week were exempt from these mandatory services. Financial sanctions were levied for non-exempt families that did not participate. EVALUATION(S) OF PROGRAM Evaluated population: 14,000 families in need of social welfare in three urban and four rural Minnesota counties were randomly assigned to either MFIP or AFDC; for the following information on children's outcomes, however, data were drawn from a subset of urban single mothers with a child between 2 and 9 at the debut of the program.
