abstract: 'This research compares the likelihood of exiting TANF with and without
|
|
|
|
employment and the effects of important state TANF rules on welfare
|
|
|
|
exits in more disadvantaged (large Rustbelt cities and poor southern
|
|
|
|
nonmetro) and less disadvantaged (other metro and other nonmetro) areas
|
|
|
|
during the 1996-2003 post-welfare reform period. Hierarchical competing
|
|
|
|
risk models using individual-level data from the 1996-99 and 2001-03
|
|
|
|
Panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation merged with
|
|
|
|
state-level data from various sources show that female TANF participants
|
|
|
|
in poor southern nonmetro areas are the least likely to exit TANF with
|
|
|
|
work, and participants in large Rustbelt cities are less likely to exit
|
|
|
|
TANF with work than those in other metro areas. Non-work TANF exits, are
|
|
|
|
more likely to Occur in other nonmetro areas than in other metro areas.
|
|
|
|
Importantly, the effects of state welfare rules oil TANF exits differ
|
|
|
|
across places of residence. For example, stringent time limit policies
|
|
|
|
promote work exits in large Rustbelt cities but promote non-work exits
|
|
|
|
in poor Southern nonmetro areas. More lenient earned income disregards
|
|
|
|
are significantly related to remaining on TANF in poor southern nonmetro
|
|
|
|
areas but promote work exits in all other places. Findings from this
|
|
|
|
paper imply that. states should not take a ``one-size-fits-all
|
|
|
|
approach{''''} to reduce welfare caseloads.'
