Even if all the adults worked full-time, simulation results suggest that only one in five would have incomes above 200 percent of FPL. http://newfederalism.urban.org/html/anf_a42.html PDF Version http://newfederalism.urban.org/pdf/anf_a42.pdf "The Prevalence of Education and Training Activities among Welfare and Food Stamp Recipients," (B-24) (October 2000) by Stephen H. Bell According to this analysis of 1997 National Survey of America's Families data, even before national welfare reform in 1996, a greater share of welfare recipients-around one in four-invested in new work skills each year than was true of adults generally. http://newfederalism.urban.org/html/series_b/b24/b24.html PDF Version http://newfederalism.urban.org/pdf/anf_b24.pdf "State Welfare-to-Work Policies for People with Disabilities: Implementation Challenges and Considerations," (August 2000), by Pamela A. Holcomb, Terri S. Thompson This report examines key operational issues and implementation challenges associated with serving welfare recipients with disabilities. Welfare agencies must address how to identify disabilities among TANF recipients and how to create and structure services to assist in their transition from welfare to work. These needs provide the conceptual framework for the study. http://www.urban.org/welfare/wel-wrk-2k.html PDF Version http://www.urban.org/pdfs/wel-wrk-2k.pdf ********************************* Mary Ann Corley Director, National Center for Literacy and Social Justice macorley1@earthlink.net
