Families: Economic Security, Program Benefits, and Decisions about
Work.
Type of Collection: New.
OMB No.: 0990-NEW--Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning
and Evaluation.
Abstract: The primary purpose of this study is to identify the
risks that federal program benefit recipients weigh when faced with an
opportunity to increase earnings, including benefit reductions,
earnings instability, and the ease of regaining lost benefits if
needed.
The study will use a discrete choice experiment to explore the
importance of these considerations when low-income individuals are
presented with a hypothetical opportunity to increase earnings.
Statistical analysis will explore interactions between factors and
threshold effects. The focus population will be persons currently
receiving benefits from at least one of the following programs:
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid/Children's
Health Insurance Program (CHIP), housing assistance, Child Care
Development Fund (CCDF) subsidies, and/or Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families (TANF). The study will explore whether different
preferences are exhibited by parents with children and by persons of
different races and ethnicities.
The results of this study will provide HHS with a better
understanding of the economic risks that people weigh when they make
decisions about increasing earnings, which will inform HHS policy and
programs at large, and further lines of research around benefit
programs and employment decisions.
The data will be collected once, using primarily a web-based
survey, from a sample of low-income persons receiving one or more
federal benefit programs. Respondents will be asked to review the
vignette and choose whether they think the hypothetical individual
should accept the earnings increase. In addition, the questionnaire
includes follow-up questions for each vignette/experimental condition,
and a set of demographic questions.
