Experiences of Virginia Time Limit Families in the Six Months After Case Closure: Results for an Early Cohort

Examines the experiences of families that reached the time limits in early 1998, during the first six months after their benefits ended, finding that most parents worked, and many worked steadily, but primarily in low-wage jobs. The study found almost no evidence of major hardship, such as homelessness or children being sent to live with someone besides a parent, resulting from welfare reform.
