The report has been prepared for Milwaukee County to examine the changes in public assistance caseloads in the county for food stamps, medical assistance and AFDC cases. Published monthly caseload data and client caseload records for selected months are used to track caseload declines and to attempt to explain how the caseload has changed for both families and individuals since December 1995. A previous study was used to track earnings and public assistance for the December 1995 AFDC population through December 1996. This analysis did not use wage match data but does use selected monthly welfare files to track cases through September 1999. Funding support for this study was provided in part by the Helen Bader Foundation.
