Author(s):  Signe-Mary McKernan, Caroline Ratcliffe, Yunju Nam

Organization(s):  Urban Institute

This report examines the effects of a comprehensive set of 13 welfare, food stamp, individual development account (IDA), earned income tax credit (EITC), and minimum wage program rules on the asset holdings of low-education, single mothers and families. (Low-education was used as a proxy for low-income and address fluctuations in income over time.) More specifically, this original analysis of extant data examines the effects of varying asset limits across state TANF programs, treatment of different types of assets, and state efforts to encourage asset accumulation among TANF recipients.
