Abstract:

This paper provides guidance for states and policymakers considering a “worker supplement” program and reviews the choices made and lessons learned by the four states that have already implemented such a program for TANF leavers. It also analyzes and considers the design decisions that a state faces in establishing and implementing such a program.
