Enhancing Child Support Enforcement Efforts: Summary of Data Warehouse Efforts in Nine States
(Report)
Final Report |
Author(s): Karen Gardiner, Mike Fishman, Asaph Glosser, Matthew Langley, and David Vennergrund |
Organization(s): The Lewin Group and SRA International |
This report provides information about State child support enforcement offices experiences with data warehouses; that is, how they are used to help manage program operations, assess program effectiveness and efficiency, and inform policy development. This report summarizes findings from discussions with staff in nine states about the development, content, and capabilities of their data warehouses. The report indicates that states use their data warehouses for a variety of purposes. Some focus on Federal reporting; others use the data warehouse for specified child support activities (e.g., locate). Some use the data warehouse to manage their programs (e.g., identifying underperforming offices, overstaffed functions), while others use it to explore and assess new policies. Additionally, the data in the warehouse come from a variety of sources. Each state's CSE automated statewide system plays a prominent role. Also, in some states, the data warehouse directly interfaces or feeds into other systems (e.g., welfare). State data warehouses vary in terms of reporting capabilities. Some use them to generate Federal reports for the incentive-related data reliability audits or the annual self-assessments. Others use their data warehouses primarily for ad-hoc reports. State child support programs also grant different levels of access to their data warehouses. For example, in some instances, partner agencies can access limited data; in others, access is highly restricted. Finally, the state respondents had unique perspectives on best practices and advice for other child support programs interested in building data warehouses. Each of these areas is discussed in detailed in the report. |

Employer Provided Health Insurance:
(Report)
What can be Learned from the 5500 Data? |
Author(s): Anja Drecressin, Tomeka Hill, Julia Lane |
Organization(s): Census Bureau, LEHD, and Department of Labor, EBSA, OPR |
This report provides a technical assessment of the utility of data from the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, specifically the form 5500 data, to examine the receipt of employer provided health care when merged with data from the Census Bureau's Longitudinal Employer Household Dynamics data program. The report finds that while the data are not well-suited to examine the proportion of workers receiving health care or the proportion of firms offering health care, they can contribute significantly to our understanding of the types of firms that offer health plans, as well as how offers and cost-sharing changes over time within specific firms. |

Volume 1: Research Needs; Volume 2: Data Sources |
Author(s): Volume 1: Debra A. Strong, Patricia Del Grosso, Andrew Burwick, Vinita Jethwani, & Michael Ponza. Volume 2: Debra A. Strong, Jigar Bhatt, Shannon Phillips, & Kate Scheppke |
Organization(s): Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. |
This research project provides a descriptive overview of the social and economic conditions in rural America, including persistent and emerging trends. A literature review of three key human service conditions in rural areas (substance abuse, work supports for low-income families and child welfare) describes their prevalence and the availability and utilization of services to ameliorate the conditions. The final report includes a compilation of 20 national surveys and 60 state administrative data sources that could be used by rural researchers and policymakers to study one or more of the selected focal conditions. The compilation summarizes the content of each database, includes information on the rural identifiers in each data set, and identifies any requirements researchers must meet in order to have access to the data. |

Social Security and Medicare from a Trust Fund and Budget Perspective
(Issue Brief)
|
Organization(s): ASPE |
According to the annual reports of the Social Security and Medicare trustees, the financial outlook for the two programs is not favorable. Under the central forecasts reported for the past 16 years under both Republican and Democratic Administrations, both programs face significant long-range
financing problems arising largely from the aging of the population and the unrelenting rise in the price of health care. This Issue Brief examines the problem from a budget and economic perspective. |
