“Findings in this report suggest several other changes could enhance the effectiveness of ABC sanctions in bringing about desired behavioral responses. First, reducing the number of sanctionable offenses to a few key behaviors would help workers and clients to better understand needed changes and address barriers to making these changes. Second, the State should consider eliminating permanent, full-family sanctions, as these do not appear to be more effective than moderate penalties in use elsewhere. Finally, for clients whose difficulties stem from inability to manage their affairs rather than unwillingness to cooperate, intensive outreach and services may generate better results than sanctions (38).”
