New York State Child Assistance Program: Five-Year Impacts, Costs, and Benefits
|
Final Cost-Benefit Findings:
"Savings [totaled] $2,603 per household over the 5 years. To achieve the savings, the government invested $237 per household in additional administrative costs for cash assistance programs over 5 years. In other words, the government realized over $10 in savings for every $1 invested" (iv).
"The total government savings from Fiscal Year 1990 through Fiscal Year 1995 in these three counties amounted to about $50 million" (vi).
"20% more earnings or $2613 on average over 5 years [for treatment group members]" (v).
"4% reduction in Public Assistance payments" (vii).
"4% more child support orders" (x).
"7% increase in administrative costs for cash assistance" (xi).
Final Impact Findings:
"Over the course of the five years, 16% of the families the treatment group participated in CAP at some time...
-Most people who participated in CAP took sizable steps to do so.
-The requirement for child support orders clearly limited participation.
-CAP reached most subgroups quite evenly" (xiii).
Final Implementation Findings:
"Results varied across counties... [according to] implementation strategy, administrative effectiveness, and local conditions" (xiv).
