Iowa Families That Left TANF Why Did They Leave and How Are They Faring

Notes that in spring 1999, almost 60 percent of families left Iowa's TANF program voluntarily and most were able to remain off the rolls for at least a year. Eight to 12 months after they left, just over 60 percent of family heads were working, and many families still relied on Medicaid. Fifty-three percent of families had incomes above the poverty level; 85 percent relied on support from family, friends, and neighbors to make ends meet.
