| Program/Policy Description |
The Closed Cases study explores what happens to Ohio Works First (OWF) participants and their families after they leave the program. The Closed Cases study was designed to collect information about the experiences of OWF recipients who stopped receiving benefits for at least one month between October 1997 and March 1999.
Research questions addressed include:
1. Who left OWF in the 12 sites studied?
2. Who returned to OWF?
3. What are their job and employment characteristics?
4. What factors contribute to successful OWF transitions?
It is also important to note that the time period of the study precedes October 2000 when Ohio's 36 month time limit on receipt of OWF benefits first applied to individuals who had been on OWF since October 1997.
