Article #1 Article #4 Article #7 Policy Briefs ... Article #5 Article #8 Upcoming Conferences Article #3 Article #6 Article #9 ... JCPR Research Conference Minnesota: Expansion of state tax credit makes work pay for welfare families Nan Madden innesota's welfare program differs from that of many states in that in addition to increasing work and reducing dependency on the part of recipients, it also has reducing poverty as one of its goals. To this end, it provides financial incentives for work and requires participation in employment and training services. However, as the final decisions were being made about program design, it became clear that characteristics of the tax system would have a negative impact on the program's goal of "making work pay." Recent changes in the state's tax credit for low-income families help to address this problem and ease the transition from welfare to work. The Minnesota Family Investment Program Minnesota's welfare program is called the Minnesota Family Investment Program-Statewide (MFIP-S). As is required by federal law, there is a 60-month lifetime limit on cash benefits. Exemptions from this limit may be granted to parents under age 20 who are attending school and victims of domestic violence. One-parent families are required to participate in employment training services within six months, although counties can require earlier participation. Two-parent families must participate immediately. Parents may be exempted from work activities if they are ill or disabled, caring for an ill or disabled family member or an infant under one-year-old, over age 60, or experiencing a family crisis.

Rural Dimensions of Welfare Reform By Bruce Weber, Greg Duncan, and Leslie Whitener Click here to see other JCPR projects authored by Greg Dun can. rural areas In May 2000, the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Joint Center for Poverty Research, and the Rural Policy Research Institute co-sponsored a conference to explore the rural dimensions of welfare reform and food assistance policy Key Findings of the Conference This issue of Poverty Research News draws from that conference some key findings about the impact of welfare reform on employment, earnings, and family well-being in rural and urban areas and looks at some implications of these findings for future welfare policy. Four insights emerge from the conference papers: Work-oriented welfare policy and a strong national economy have reduced the welfare caseload and increased incomes and lowered poverty for both urban and rural single-parent families. When viewed from the national level, rural and urban outcomes related to welfare use, poverty, and employment of single-parent families appear to be quite similar. As one looks at specific states, and regions within those states, however, enormous variation emerges within and across urban and rural areas in the structure of

Celebrating 20 Years of Service 1985-2005 Public Assistance Programs Diversionary Work Program (DWP) DWP is is a four-month program that helps low-income Minnesota families find a job. The goal of DWP is to help parents immediately go to work rather than go on welfare. Parents are expected to sign an employment plan before their family is approved for DWP. After families have an employment plan, they can receive financial assistance to meet their basic needs and get other supports, such as food support and child and health care assistance. When most families first apply for cash assistance, they will participate in DWP. Some families may be referred to the Minnesota Family Investment Program. DWP began in July 2004. Who is eligible? DWP recipients must meet income and other guidelines and are referred to SW MN PIC for employment services through their County Family Service Financial Workers. Please call your local County Family Services agency for additional eligibility information. Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) MFIP is Minnesota's welfare reform program established under the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program enacted by the Federal Government to replace the former Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program.

MinnesotaCare is the state's health care program for working Minnesotans who don't have access to affordable health care coverage. There are approximately 107,000 residents enrolled in MinnesotaCare, including 55,000 children. MinnesotaCare is funded by enrollee premiums (using a sliding-fee scale, based on family size and income), a 1.5 percent tax on hospitals and health-care providers and state and federal funds. MinnesotaCare is central to Minnesota's welfare reform strategy because it enables people to leave welfare and go to work without losing their health care coverage. The average MinnesotaCare premium for an adult is $18 a month, and some children can be covered for as little as $4 a month.
