The major findings of this report are: (c) The majority of states have changed their work participation policies to require participation among some individuals with disabilities and caregivers who were previously exempt. (c) States are in the early stages of making decisions about who should be required to participate in welfare-to-work services, who should be expected to move off welfare within 60 months, and what services will best help recipients achieve this objective.
