Description
Previously, we found that 70% of clients who exited the Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) program experienced at least one spell of disconnection from work, TCA, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) that lasted for an average of one year. However, among leavers who were disconnected in the quarter immediately following their exits from TCA, some were able to reconnect to a source of income in the subsequent quarter. This research brief focuses on those clients in order to determine what source of income they reconnected to, how long they remained connected to that source of income, and what were their short-term welfare and employment outcomes compared to the leavers that remained disconnected for two consecutive quarters.
