This report is one in a series produced under the National Evaluation of the DOL Welfare-to-Work (WtW) Grants Program. This study examines the extent to which former welfare recipients, if they were to experience a job loss, are likely to have monetary eligibility for Unemployment Insurance (UI).

The purpose of this report is to analyze survey data collected from members of the federal family and compare their attitudes and opinions to those of individuals offered coverage in other public programs as well as those offered coverage in private sector employer-group settings.

This is the second in a series of data briefs based on the information collected for a study of buyers, non-buyers, and non-responders to the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP).

This is the third in a series of data briefs based on the information collected for a study of buyers, non-buyers, and non-responders to the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP).

The purpose of this brief is to answer three questions related to the purchase of the Federal LTC insurance program: (1) What are the characteristics associated with being a purchaser/enrollee in the Federal LTC insurance program?

American Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages have embraced the goals, objectives, and programs associated with welfare reform, but the lack of jobs limits the success of tribal programs such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Welfare-to-Work (WtW). The lack of jobs is one of the biggest problems in Indian country.
