Fig. 2.
The following periods represent changes in public policies and the
enrollment of Wisconsin children is compared for: Period 1,
which indicates Aid to Families with Dependent Children; Period
2, which indicates a welfare reform pilot period known as
Pay for Performance; and Period 3, which
indicates the initiation of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families or
Wisconsin Works. Monthly and quarterly enrollment data of
children under the age of 18 were analyzed using linear regression
analysis for Medicaid/AFDC, Medicaid/Healthy Start, Food Stamps,
AFDC/W-2, and WIC. Slopes of lines for each safety net program indicate
the average increase or decline in enrollment per month during each
consecutive period.
