41. Contextual Variations In Welfare Reform O Neill, June; Wolf, Douglas; Bassi, Lauri; and Hannan, Michael, (1984) An analysis of Time on welfare, Report prepared for DHHS by the Urban Institute. http://aspe.os.dhhs.gov/hsp/isp/tap45.htm

Welfare to Work: The Need to Take Place Differences into Account Hal Wolman, Ph.D. Dr. Wolman is a Professor in the College of Urban, Labor and Metropolitan Affairs and in the Department of Political Science at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. He is serving as a visiting policy analyst in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation through the Intergovernmental Personnel Act. Technical Analysis Paper No. 45 January, 1996 DHHS, quite understandably, tends to think of the world in terms of individuals, families and households to whom it delivers services. However, those whose concern is with economic development and labor market policy tend to see the world more in terms of places and variations among places. What might be the implications for DHHS concerns, particularly the ability to move from welfare to work, if it attempted to think systematically about the problem of service delivery to individuals, families and households within the context of places or areas which differ in important respects? Do differences among areas in their characteristics affect the ability of individuals to move from welfare to work? What are these place-related characteristics? If they do affect the ability to move from welfare to work, what are the implications, particularly as we consider substantial changes in the existing welfare system, in terms of policy and legislation, technical assistance, and research and evaluation?

42. President Bush's Welfare Reform Plan Leaves Millions Of Children Behind (CDF Ana Leaves Millions of Children Behind (Press Release) President Bush s welfare reform Plan Leaves Millions of Children Behind (CDF analysis) MWE Statement http://www.cdfactioncouncil.org/analysis_welfare.htm

March 14, 2002 President Bush’s Welfare Reform Plan Leaves Millions of Children Behind President Bush claims that his welfare reform plan will get more parents into work but his plan does not invest in any of the supports that low-income families need to get and hold onto a job. The Administration’s plan places big new burdens on the states and families but fails to provide the resources necessary to help families succeed in the move from welfare to work. On average, states will have to more than double the number of families engaged in work or face stiff financial penalties, but will have no additional resources. Work Requirements . The Bush plan would require that more families work more hours. Under the proposal families would be required to be engaged in a work activity for 40 hours per week – a one-third increase from the current 30 hour requirement (20 hours for single parents with young children). In addition, the Bush Administration would require that states put 70 percent of their caseload in work, or suffer financial consequences. Currently, states have about one-third of their caseload in work. State Flexibility . Although the Administration claims that state flexibility lies at the heart of welfare reform, the Bush plan

GLOSSARY INTRODUCTION On August 20, 1997, Governor Pataki signed the Welfare Reform Act of 1997, which had been adopted by the state legislature two weeks earlier. It represents the state's response to Federal welfare reform and a substantial reshaping of New York's public assistance program. The Act is about 125 pages long and difficult to summarize concisely. Many of the provisions are subject to varying interpretations, and, for many components, we must await state regulations and local implementation before we know precisely the form they will take. With these words of caution, the following is an initial effort to describe, in some detail, the provisions of the new law. Notes: (1) Glossary: See last page for a glossary of abbreviations (2) Scope: This summary covers primarily welfare changes mandated by the new state law.

The Impact of Welfare Reform on Public Shelter Utilization in Philadelphia: A Time-Series Analysis Dennis P. Culhane Stephen R. Poulin Lorlene M. Hoyt Stephen Metraux University of Pennsylvania Abstract The use of public shelters in Philadelphia was examined both before and after the implementation of Act 35, Pennsylvania’s response to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Univariate interrupted time-series analyses were conducted to determine if trends in shelter utilization (the number of families admitted, by family size, by race, by age of household head, by income, by disability indicator, and by average length of stay) changed significantly after March 1997, the month in which Act 35 was implemented, or after 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of implementation. Results indicate that family size and household head age increased after the implementation of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, although not at consistent lags. A small negative effect on self-reported substance abuse and a small positive effect on the proportion of household heads with a disability were found, but at inconsistent lags. As is the case with most evaluations of welfare reform, it is difficult to separate the effects of welfare reform and Philadelphia’s economy during the study period. To test the effect of Act 35’s implementation while controlling for economic factors, a multivariate regression analysis of family shelter admissions was conducted along with variables for the unemployment rate and for the consumer price index for the cost of rental housing. This analysis revealed a significant positive effect of unemployment and housing costs on public shelter admissions among families and no effect of the implementation of welfare reform.

Analysis links welfare reform and family violence By Susan Lang One of the hidden costs of welfare reform, both at the federal and state levels, is addressed in a new study by a Cornell researcher. The study found that the marginally employed people whose low pay makes them eligible for welfare payments are almost four times more likely to be violent with their families than workers not on welfare or even than other unemployed workers. The study also found that unemployed individuals who use alcohol to excess are at greater risk of committing family violence than the employed who abuse alcohol or nondrinkers, with the greatest risk among employed welfare recipients. Race and ethnicity were not found to be significant in predicting family violence, when other factors were controlled in the analysis. Partnership stability, having a physical or mental limitation which could restrict the ability to hold a job or a previous history of alcohol abuse were also not significant. In a paper published in the March issue of the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health (Vol. 55, No. 3), Eunice Rodriguez, an assistant professor in Cornell's Department of Policy Analysis and Management, said her analysis indicates that marginal employment coupled with welfare are a very significant factor in family violence. However, she said, unemployment on its own, appears to have no effect on the likelihood of family violence, when alcohol abuse, income, education, age and other factors are taken into account.

Adolescent Outcomes, Poverty Status, and Welfare Reform: An Analysis based on the Survey of Program Dynamics Author info Abstract Publisher info Download info ... Statistics Author Info Eileen Trzcinski Jerry Brandell Abstract In the early stages of research on the impact of welfare reform, most research focused on caseload reduction, employment outcomes, and barriers to employment. Even in research that examined the impact of welfare reform on children, the emphases centered on infants, preschoolers, and children at the grade school level. Issues concerning the impact on children in middle childhood and early adolescence were not considered a crucial area for research (Brooks, Hair, and Zaslow, 2001). We argue below, however, that children in late middle childhood and early adolescence are likely to face significant challenges in the wake of welfare reform. Our arguments are based on the premise that adolescence is a developmental epoch characterized by rapid physical, intellectual, and socioemotional growth and change, which is frequently accompanied by turbulence, perplexity, and confusion. Hence this research was undertaken specifically to examine potential effects of welfare reform on children in late childhood through adolescence. The research described below uses the Survey of Program Dynamics to examine the links between outcomes for adolescents, source of income, mother?s employment, and welfare reform. Specifically, the research examines how poverty status and family welfare receipt during middle childhood interact with current poverty status and welfare receipt during adolescence to influence a range of outcomes for adolescents. The outcomes that are examined include both parent reports and the set of indicators that are available in the 1998 adolescent self-administered questionnaire.

Information Child Welfare and Welfare Reform Research Kathleen Wells, Principal Investigator Kathleen Wells' Web Site Mandel School Research Projects and Centers Publications related to this research My current research has focused on how the public child welfare system in Cuyahoga County has functioned under conditions of welfare reform. The research is a collaborative project of CWRU's Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences (MSASS) and the Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services (CCDCFS), the county's public child welfare agency. With funding from national and local foundations including the Annie E. Casey, Cleveland Foundation, George Gund Foundation, and the Ohio Department of Mental Health, this work began in 1998 and continues through the present time. It is comprised of four inter-locking studies. The third study examines a number of competing hypotheses as to why we found the relationships we did in study two for the first two groups that have been studied. One important finding from study two is that mothers who received cash assistance consistently had children return home at a faster rate than did children whose mothers received but lost a significant amount of this assistance after their children's placements. Hypotheses turn on the adequacy of mothers' resources in relation to their needs. The third study is based on intensive, in-home interviews with a subset of biological mothers of children in study two. Analyses of interview data are underway.

NEWS for North Dakotans Agriculture Communication, North Dakota State University 7 Morrill Hall, Fargo, ND 58105-5665 May 7, 1998 NDSU Analysis Highlights Challenges of Welfare Reform Many North Dakota residents currently on public assistance are unlikely to be able to find jobs that pay a living wage, an NDSU analysis and current labor statistics show. "In North Dakota, the estimated cost of living for an employed single mother with two children ages 4 and 6 is $511 a week. That equates to $2,213 a month or $26,556 a year," says Debra Pankow, extension family economics specialist at NDSU. "To meet her monthly cost of living, this not-so-hypothetical single mother would need to earn a take-home wage of $12.77 an hour." How does this scenario compare to reality? Job Service North Dakota reports that in 1995 the median full-time income for men ages 25 to 34 was $12.25. The median income for women in the same age group was slightly more than $10. Pankow says the $26,566 "living wage" used in this examples includes costs for housing and utilities, food, child care, transportation, and basic household and personal-care items. But it does not include costs for entertainment, birthday gifts or other gifts, toys, tobacco products, or alcohol. The majority of low-income North Dakotans enrolled in the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program are single-parent families—typically single mothers, who eventually will need jobs that pay a living wage, due to the 60-month limit on welfare assistance.
