Description
This report adds to our available body of knowledge on TANF time limits by looking at the universe of the 7,143 Maryland cases which exceeded the 60-month limit on benefit receipt and were granted a hardship exemption between January 2002 and August 2010. Specifically, we use administrative data to describe demographic and case characteristics and cash assistance utilization patterns of the hardship population, the extent of their participation in work activities, the nature of the activities to which they are assigned, and the barriers which are documented as being present in their lives.
