Show moreThe Federation for Community Planning was interested in understanding factors leading to the use of welfare benefits. For some individuals, entry into the Aid to Dependent Children (AFDC) program for the first time may be precipitated by specific events such as loss of a job, birth of a child, or change in family structure. Such situations may resolve themselves and eliminate the need for AFDC in a relatively short period. For other individuals, there may not be a single precipitating event, instead welfare dependency may be a result of prolonged unemployment and family difficulties. The purpose of this analysis is to identify some of the circumstances surrounding welfare entry and to determine whether they are predictive of how long individuals will receive benefits.

The Cuyahoga County Department of Employment and Entitlement Services requested a profile of their caseload in order to plan their employment related services and programs under welfare reform. The purpose of the analysis was to determine the relative proportions of the caseload who might require various intensities of services and to anticipate the numbers of individuals who could be employed quickly versus those who would require a longer period to move into work.
