本研究探讨参与“从福利到工作”计划对TANF受助人福利使用动态的影响。利用项目动态调查和福利规则数据库，本研究分析了人力资本开发和劳动力附着项目的参与如何影响TANF退出和重新进入的概率，同时保持国家经济和各种TANF规则的影响不变。分析表明，LFA程序与TANF退出的概率比HCD程序更高。相反，TANF受助人的就业状况和当地的劳动力市场条件是更重要的预测TANF退出。它还表明，对于TANF离开者，严重的贫困和经济不安全与他们的福利累犯显着相关。
This study examines the effects of participation in Welfare-to-Work programs on the dynamics of TANF recipients' welfare use. Using the Survey of Program Dynamics and the Welfare Rules Database, the study analyzes how participation in Human Capital Development and Labor Force Attachment programs affects the probabilities of TANF exit and re-entry, while holding the effects of the state economy and various TANF rules constant. The analyses reveal that LFA programs are not associated with a higher probability of TANF exit than HCD programs. Instead, TANF recipients' employment status and the local labor market conditions are more important predictors of TANF exit. It also reveals that, for TANF leavers, severe poverty and economic insecurity are significantly related to their welfare recidivism.
