Surveying attitudes towards TANF and barriers to participation among TANF-eligible individuals

Presenter:

Stephanie Peng

California Department of Social Services

Description:

The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) sent surveys to a random statewide sample of 30,000 TANF-eligible SNAP participants to understand their perceptions of TANF and barriers to participating in the program. CDSS wanted to understand the extent to which the participants believe they are eligible, value TANF benefits, are interested in the range of services available under TANF and are potentially deterred from applying by different kinds of administrative burdens. CDSS will present the main insights drawn from over 2,000 survey responses.
