New Mexico TANF Longitudinal Study: Survey of Long-Term Welfare Recipients for the Barrier and Safety Net Study (05/01/03)
|
- A safety net program may be appropriate for long term welfare recipients with physical and/or mental health problems.
- There is a need for earlier in-depth assessment procedures to identify barriers before recipients reach the time limit.
- Possible need for a case consultation approach when TANF recipients have accumulated a certain number of months on assistance.
- Need for more programs that address issues for those with serious barriers to employment.
- Case managers may need to focus on the presence of mental health problems among older TANF recipients.
