UI as a Safety Net for Former TANF Recipients
(Report)
|
Author(s): Christopher J. O'Leary and Kenneth J. Kline |
Organization(s): W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research |
This report analyzes whether former TANF recipients who lose their jobs apply for and receive unemployment insurance (UI) benefits and it describes the role of UI in TANF leavers' well-being and the types of employment deficits that might prevent their access to UI. This study uses newly available data linking information on both TANF and UI receipt to study the extent to which unemployed TANF leavers apply for and receive UI benefits, as well as the reasons they are denied. Analyses also examine how UI receipt relates to TANF cycling, as well as the relationship between TANF and UI caseloads. Data are part of the Administrative Data Research and Evaluation Project (ADARE), a consortium of states funded by the Department of Labor and managed by the University of Baltimore. The report uses longitudinal data from Florida, Michigan, Ohio, and Texas. |

Coming of Age: Employment Outcomes for Youth Who Age Out of Foster Care Through Their Middle Twenties
(Report)
|
Author(s): Jennifer Macomber, Stephanie Cuccaro-Alamin, Dean Duncan, et. al. |
Organization(s): Urban Institute with subcontractors University of California Berkeley and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill |
A primary task for youth in transitioning to adulthood is sustaining employment to be self-sufficient. Studies of former youth who age out of foster care find that they generally experience unstable employment patterns and earn very low incomes between ages 18 and 20. However, less is known about whether these youths initial patterns of employment instability and low earnings persist. This study linked child welfare, Unemployment Insurance (UI) and TANF administrative data to assess employment outcomes for former youth through age 24 in three states: California, North Carolina, and Minnesota. Descriptive, multivariate, and trajectory analysis techniques are employed to describe employment patterns. Findings indicate that low rates of employment persist through age 24; Low earnings persist through age 24 though few receive TANF benefits; and youth show four patterns of connectedness to the workforce that may provide insights to program planners considering how to best tailor services to youths needs. |

Study to Examine UI Eligibility Among Former TANF Recipients:
(Report)
Evidence from New Jersey, Final Report |
Author(s): Anu Rangarajan, Carol Razafindrakoto, and Walter Corson |
Organization(s): Mathematica Policy Research |
This study examines the extent to which former TANF recipients who leave welfare and find jobs would be potentially eligible for Unemployment Insurance (UI) in case of job loss, considering both monetary and nonmonetary eligibility, as well as potential benefit levels. The study also examines how many former TANF recipients who found jobs and eventually lost jobs actually file UI claims and receive payments. The report is based on 2,000 welfare recipients who received TANF in New Jersey during the first 18 months under the new welfare rules, between July 1997 and December 1998. |

Administrative Data for Policy-Relevant Research:
(Report)
Assessment of Current Utility and Recommendations for Development |
Author(s): Advisory Panel on Research Uses of Administrative Data |
Organization(s): Joint Center for Poverty Research |
This report is concerned with administrative data collected at the state and local levels in the operation of government programs for the poor, such as AFDC/TANF, Food Stamps, Medicaid, and foster care. In addition to their "record-keeping" function, administrative data increasingly are used to monitor and evaluate program performance and ensure agency accountability. The assessment was written for the Joint Center for Policy Research, with a grant from ASPE, to assess the use of state administrative data in policy and academic research. |
