Employment and TANF Outcomes for Low-Income Families Receiving Child Care Subsidies in Illinois, Maryland, and Texas An analysis of subsidy use and employment and welfare outcomes among all low-income families in Illinois, Maryland, and Texas, with a focus on: (1) building individual-level linked administrative data from Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and Unemployment Insurance (UI) wage records within each state; (2) developing an eligibility model that takes account of income eligibility rules across states; and (3) matching individual-level 2000 decennial census and Supplemental Survey data from the Census Bureau with the state-linked databases. The project aims for a more comprehensive model of subsidy use that will allow policymakers to better estimate subsidy need, and to understand the relation between take-up patterns among different groups of low-income families and employment and welfare outcomes among low-income families. This study builds on Child Care Bureau-funded research demonstrating that the child care subsidy plays an important role in supporting family self-sufficiency by increasing employment among current and former TANF recipients. |
