Description
Increasing the earning potential of adults, particularly those who receive public benefits, is important for family economic stability, child well-being, and preventing inter-generational poverty. In order to understand more about all adults caring for children in Maryland's Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) program, this report focuses on the demographics, cash assistance receipt, and employment and earnings of adults who are recipients of TCA benefits as well as adults on child-only cases. The report also examines the characteristics of adults on the different types of child-only cases.
