Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the effects of the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program on work activity participation rates of welfare recipients, welfare caseloads, and outcomes for welfare leavers. While the CalWORKs reforms appear to have been responsible for some of the uniform improvement in outcomes shown by the analysis, the robust economy and other policy changes were probably also important.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) fundamentally changed the American welfare system, replacing the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program with the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. PRWORA deliberately and decisively shifted the authority to shape welfare programs from the federal government to the individual states. California's response to PRWORA was the California Work and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program-a "work-first" program that provides support services to help recipients move from welfare to work and toward self-sufficiency. To encourage prompt transitions to work and self-sufficiency, CalWORKs, like PRWORA, also imposes life-time limits on the receipt of aid by adults. Finally, CalWORKs devolves much of the responsibility and authority for implementation to California's 58 counties, increasing counties' flexibility and financial accountability in designing their welfare programs. The California Department of Social Services (CDSS)-the state agency responsible for welfare-contracted with RAND for an independent evaluation of CalWORKs to assess both the process and the impact of the legislation, at both the state and county levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An executive summary of RAND MR-1358-CDSS, Welfare Reform in California: Early Results from the Impact Analysis. The study examines the effects of the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program on work activity participation rates of welfare recipients, welfare caseloads, and outcomes for welfare leavers. It describes outcomes under CalWORKs through approximately the summer of 2000 and begins the process of explaining the observed variation in outcomes through time, between California and other states, and among California's counties. Analyses of national data (administrative data on caseloads and national survey data on household income) and statewide data (on caseloads, employment, and earnings) show almost uniform improvement in outcomes in California since the implementation of CalWORKs. While the CalWORKs reforms appear to have been responsible for some of that improvement, the robust economy and other policy changes were probably also important. The rest of the nation has experienced similar improvements in outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program is California's response to the welfare reforms Congress set in motion in 1996. The most visible features of this program are its emphasis on moving welfare recipients from reliance on government cash assistance to work and toward self-sufficiency; its use of time limits and participation requirements; its provision of certain services, such as child care and job search assistance, to make participation easier; and its devolution of program authority from the state to the county level. This executive summary focuses on the four themes that have emerged from the authors' work to date: (1) Organizations have changed in response to the expanded mission of CalWORKs, despite limited time for planning. (2) Implementation is under way, but recipient compliance is low. (3) Counties currently have sufficient funds, but this may change. (4) Achieving earnings needed to achieve self-sufficiency before time limits expire is a challenge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the implementation of California's Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program in its first two years. According to the CalWORKs welfare-to-work model, immediately following the approval of the aid application, nearly all recipients search for jobs in the context of Job Clubs. For those who do not find employment through job search, an intensive assessment and a sequence of activities follow, to identify and overcome barriers to employment. Implementation in most counties is proceeding more slowly than some observers had hoped, but about as fast as could realistically be expected. County welfare districts (CWDs) face the dual challenge of expanding their capacity to deal with the new, higher, steady-state workload that CalWORKs entails and handling the much larger one-time surge of old cases as they move through the system. Providing mandated support services--child care and transportation; education and training; and treatment for alcohol and substance abuse, mental health, and domestic abuse--has been a challenge for most CWDs. To cope with this expanded workload, they have made different capacity-building decisions. The slow pace of movement through the system is worrisome, however, given the five-year lifetime limit that aid recipients face. Finally, those who have found jobs often do not earn enough to move them completely off aid and toward self-sufficiency. Additional post-employment services appear to be needed.. (MP)

Download or read book How Can We Improve California's Welfare Work Participation Rates? A Criteria-alternatives Matrix Analysis written by Tracey Corinne Dickinson and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996 federal welfare reform was passed by the United States government, shifting the focus of welfare programs to ending the dependence of needy parents on government benefits through the promotion of job preparation, work, and marriage (Reed & Karpilow, 2010). As a part of welfare reform, federal Work Participation Rates (WPRs) were established for state welfare programs as a benchmark to measuring the success of these priorities, with substantial fines being assigned to states failing to meet their WPR goals. The State of California has failed to meet its WPR every fiscal year since 2007, with the State accruing $161,294,348 in fines, and making very few attempts to resolve the issue. In this thesis I identify and evaluate a variety of strategies used by other government entities in their efforts to maintain the federally required WPR levels. I begin my analysis by conducting an in-depth review of the most common strategies used in other states, and how effectively those strategies have worked. Using the information gleaned during my review, I complete a criteria-alternatives analysis in matrix form, evaluating ten different alternatives based on whether they will improve WPRs in an effective, low-cost, and equitable manner. My analysis finds that three of the five alternatives I evaluate, which are geared toward state-level decision-making, are consistently better suited to improving California's WPRs in a low-cost and equitable manner. These options include implementing stricter sanction policies, shifting to performance-based contracts, and using a new data system to monitor WPR performance. My analysis also found that all five of my alternatives focused on county-level policies are strong options for improving California's WPRs, including expanding unpaid work opportunities, developing sanction re-engagement programs, creating special units to focus on WPRs, expanding subsidized employment programs, and providing incentives for recipients who meet work requirements. Based on these findings I recommend that California utilize a holistic approach that implements a combination of the strongest state and county level alternatives evaluated in my analysis.
