The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), with support from the U.S. Department of Labor and the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, announces the availability of funds and invites applications for research into the status of individuals and families who leave the TANF program, who apply for cash welfare but are never enrolled because of non-financial eligibility requirements or diversion programs, and/or who appear to be eligible but are not enrolled (hereafter jointly referred to as welfare leavers). Approximately eight to ten States or counties will receive funding that will enable them to track and monitor how individuals and their families do in the first year after they leave welfare and provide a foundation for longer follow-up. States may choose any method for such tracking, including the linking of administrative data, surveys or other methods as appropriate. We are particularly interested in learning about individuals' ability to obtain employment and the support provided by their earnings, public programs besides TANF, and other sources. The funds could support a newly designed project or could be used to add new data sources and analyses to an existing project. In addition, ASPE announces the availability of supplementary funding from the Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to track the consequences of welfare reform for low-income families with children who receive housing assistance. These funds will only be available to ASPE Grantees.
规划与评估助理部长办公室（ASPE）在美国劳工部和美国农业部经济研究局的支持下，宣布提供资金并邀请申请对离开临时援助家庭计划（TANF）的个人和家庭的状况进行研究，这些人申请现金福利但因非财务资格要求或分流计划而从未登记，和/或似乎符合资格但未登记（以下统称为福利离开者）。大约八到十个州或县将获得资金，这将使它们能够跟踪和监测个人及其家庭在离开福利后的第一年的情况，并为更长时间的跟踪提供基础。各州可以选择任何此类跟踪方法，包括链接行政数据、调查或其他适当方法。我们特别感兴趣了解个人获得就业的能力以及他们的收入、除TANF之外的公共计划和其他来源提供的支持。这些资金可以支持一个新设计的项目，也可以用于为现有项目添加新的数据来源和分析。此外，ASPE宣布可从美国住房和城市发展部（HUD）政策制定与研究办公室（PD&R）获得补充资金，以跟踪福利改革对接受住房援助的有子女低收入家庭的影响。这些资金仅提供给ASPE受赠者。
