The Accelerated Benefits Demonstration and Evaluation Project

|
| |
|
|
2011. Charles Michalopoulos, David Wittenburg, Dina A. R. Israel, Jennifer Schore, Anne Warren, Aparajita Zutshi, Stephen Freedman, and Lisa Schwartz.
This demonstration tested the effects of earlier access to health care coverage and related services for new Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries. After one year, the program increased health care use, reduced reported unmet medical needs, and modestly improved health and functioning. It also increased job prep and search activities but did not raise employment levels.

2010. Charles Michalopolous, Erika Lundquist, and Nina Castells.

When Is the Story in the Subgroups?
Strategies for Interpreting and Reporting Intervention Effects on Subgroups
Working Paper
|
| |
|
|
2010. Howard S. Bloom and Charles Michalopoulos.
This revised paper examines strategies for interpreting and reporting estimates of intervention effects for subgroups of a study sample. Specifically, the paper considers: why and how subgroup findings are important for applied research, the importance of prespecifying subgroups before analyses are conducted, and the importance of using existing theory and prior research to distinguish between subgroups for which study findings are confirmatory, as opposed to exploratory.

Recognizing that welfare recipients who find jobs may remain poor, the "make work pay" approach rewards those who work by boosting their income. This strategy was the centerpiece of the Self-Sufficiency Project (SSP), a large-scale demonstration program in Canada that offered monthly earnings supplements to single parents who left welfare for full-time work.

How best to help people move from welfare to work — particularly whether an employment-focused approach or an education-focused approach is more effective — has been a subject of long-standing debate. This report summary, which describes the long-term effects of 11 different mandatory welfare-to-work programs for single parents and their children, takes a major step toward resolving this debate.

This monograph synthesizes the results of rigorous studies of 29 welfare reform initiatives evaluated by MDRC over the past 15 years. It examines how three policies that form the core of most state's current welfare programs — mandatory employment services, earnings supplements, and time limits on welfare receipt — affect employment, welfare receipt, and income.
