Show moreAs welfare caseloads fall and provisions of welfare reform are implemented in state and local welfare offices, there is a growing interest in families and individuals who leave the welfare rolls. However, welfare caseloads have always been dynamic, with families entering and leaving assistance programs each month. To interpret information on families leaving welfare since welfare reform, it is necessary to know what happened to families who left welfare in the past as well. This is a study of a third quarter, 1996 cohort of welfare leavers, who stopped receiving cash assistance before welfare reform went into effect. It is intended to provide a basis of comparison for future studies of families leaving welfare under welfare reform.

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.
