Survey of Third Quarter W-2 Leavers

CLIENT

Department of Workforce Development (DWD)

DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this project is to provide a description of the experiences of people who left W-2, Wisconsin’s work-based replacement for AFDC, during the third quarter of 1998 and to assess the effects of welfare reform on helping people obtain and retain employment. A name sample of 550 W-2 leavers has been provided to the UWSC by the DWD. The UWSC will conduct as many interviews by telephone as possible. Individuals who cannot be reached by phone will be interviewed in person by DWD field interviewers.
