After a student in class asked me about family caps / child exclusions (how many states have them), I looked into it and found some articles and reports that might be of general interest.
A great report that includes state-by-state information on welfare program design is David Kassabian et al., Welfare Rules Databook: State TANF Policies as of July 2010 (Urban Institute, Aug. 2011).
And some related articles public available include:
- Martha F. Davis, The Child Exclusion in a Global Context, 60 Case Western Res. L. Rev. 1183 (2010) (link is to the SSRN version).
- Christopher Dinkel, Note: Welfare Family Caps and the Zero Grant Situation, 93 Cornell L. Rev. 365 (2011).
- Erica Franklin, Commentary: Challenging Child Exclusion in California State Court, 26 Berkeley J. Gender, Law & Soc. Justice 1 (2011).
- Rebekah J. Smith, Family Caps in Welfare Reform: Their Corrosive Effects and Damaging Consequences, 29 Harv. J. Law & Justice 151 (2006).
-Thanks to Zach for the question! =)
