2014 Statistical Report On the Operations of New York State

Public Assistance Programs Introduction

This report was prepared in fulfillment of the reporting requirements contained in the

Welfare Reform Act of 1997, and was compiled by the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) with data developed by OTDA and the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS).1 Although the law requires that this reporting should begin upon the yet-to-be-realized completion of the redesign of the Welfare Management System, we continue to report on as many of the requirements that our current data infrastructure allows.

Except where otherwise noted, the time period covered in this report is July 2013 through

June 2014 (referred to as the report year). This time period was selected to allow for the compilation of a year’s worth of data prior to the end of calendar year issuance date of the report.

What follows is a brief summary of current trends in the Public Assistance caseload for

the July 2013 to June 2014 time period and a high level summary of the data supplied in the main body of the report.

1 The reporting provisions are codified in §149, Part B of Chapter 436 of the laws of 1997. The full text of §149 is reproduced at the end of the report.

2014 Statistical Report on Public Assistance Programs 1

Recent Public Assistance Recipient Trends

Figure 1 illustrates the trend in total Public Assistance (PA) recipients for the July 2013 to June 2014 period. During this time, the total recipient count decreased by 13,154, from 576,355 to 563,201 or -2.3%. This decrease was a reverse of the 2.8% increase observed in the previous report year, and ends the upward trend in PA that began in September 2008. However, the PA recipient count is still 12.4% above the September 2008 level.

Figure 1: New York State Public Assistance Recipients

July 2013 to June 2014

Figure 2 shows the recipient count change for the report period for “family” cases as a whole, and for each of this category’s components: 1) recipients in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program (which in turn consists of Family Assistance (FA) and a small number of federally funded Safety Net Assistance (SNA) families where an adult in the case is mandated to drug treatment), and 2) former TANF cases in the SNA program by virtue of exceeding the TANF 60 month time limit or cases that would be TANF except that they are barred from TANF receipt due to their alien status. These cases are referred to as SNA Maintenance of Effort (SNA MOE) cases because expenditures on these cases, while not TANF eligible, count toward a state’s requirement to maintain a certain level of historical assistance expenditures on families in order to access their TANF block grant funds.2

There was a 12,496 or -3.0% decrease in the number of recipients in the family case

category, which moved from 421,148 recipients to 408,652. This decrease was the result of decreases in both the TANF and SNA MOE category.

2 Note that the family recipient counts include persons in non-disabled two-parent cases, even though these cases were moved into the SNA Non-Maintenance of Effort (SNA Non-MOE) case category in October 2006 for the purposes of avoiding the risk of federal penalty for failure to meet extremely high work participation rates for this group. Such cases are distributed between the TANF and SNA MOE lines on Figure 2 based on the classification the case would have been in had they not been shifted.

Figure 3 shows the report year trend for the recipient count for “traditional” SNA (Non-

MOE) cases, usually referred to as “singles” cases since they consist primarily of one-person adult cases. In this case category, there was a 658 or -0.4% recipient decrease, from 155,207 to 154,549. The general long-term upward trend in this caseload appears to have ended; some of the increase in the latter part of the report year is likely due to seasonal factors.

Report Summary

This summary, and the report as a whole, is organized by section headings that refer

directly by letter to the subsections of the reporting requirements in statute. In some cases, reporting requirements for a particular section overlap with those in other sections. When this occurs, appropriate cross-references will be provided in the body of the report.

Section (a): Applications

Section (a) provides district level and statewide information on the number of case

openings and denials, and the reasons for denials, for PA as a whole and for the FA and SNA categories. These numbers are summarized in Table 1.

Table 1: Applications Approved and Denied July 2013 to June 2014

Case Openings Application Denials Total Public Assistance 360,891 322,590 Family Assistance 110,669 106,843 Safety Net Assistance 250,222 215,747

The main reasons for application denials were failure to comply with application

requirements, either employment-related requirements (87,085 or 27%) or other requirements, such as failure to appear for interviews or failure to provide documentation (142,477 or 44.2%). Denials related to financial issues (income and resources) totaled 40,575, or 12.6% of denials. There were 5,214 (1.6%) denials due to residence issues. A large number of denials (47,239 or 14.6%) fell into a miscellaneous “other” category. Most of the denial codes in this category fail to identify a clear reason for the denial, since the code used requires the caseworker to manually write in a “close” reason. Other denials in this category include failure to locate the recipient, and cases where PA is denied but emergency assistance is provided.

It is important to note that for the current report year we reexamined the categorizations

of both denial and closing codes to ensure all codes were properly classified. This resulted in some reassignment of codes across categories. For instance, voluntary job quits were reclassified to the employment compliance category from the financial category. Thus, the counts and percentages for the denial and closings reason classifications are not directly comparable to those from previous reports.

Section (b): Case Closings and Transfers

Section (b) provides district level and statewide information on the number of case

closings, and closing counts by reason for closing, for PA as a whole and for the FA and SNA categories. It also provides district level and statewide information on transfers between the FA and SNA case categories that occurred during the year.

Case closings totaled 331,528 for PA, 99,758 for FA and 231,770 for SNA. Overall, the

most common reasons for PA case closings were failure to comply with program requirements not related to employment (153,244 or 46.2%) such as failure to recertify; financial issues (62,312 or 18.8%) such as increased earnings or other income; and failure to comply with employment requirements (45,354 or 13.7%). As was the case for denials, a large number of closings fell into the “other” category, mostly situations where the reason for closing was not clearly defined in the closing code. The “other” category constituted 34,219 or 10.3% of closings. Client requests (15,334 or 4.6%) and residence issues (21,065 or 6.4%) rounded out the closing reasons.


Transfers from SNA to FA totaled 9,215 for the report year. Such transfers can occur for many reasons, including when an adult in an SNA case has a child, a time limited SNA case receives a time limit exemption, or an adult whose cash assistance count causes the case to be time limited leaves the household. Transfers in the opposite direction - from FA to SNA - totaled 17,992. While a portion of these cases move from FA to SNA due to TANF time limits (approximately 500 TANF cases per month reach the 60 month limit each month, and historically about two-thirds of these cases transfer to SNA), there are other reasons these transfers occur, such as a child “aging out” of TANF eligibility and creating an adult-only case.

Sections (c), (d) and (e): Subsidized Work Activities, Unsubsidized Work Activities and Training and Educational Activities

Section (c) provides data derived from both sample data and system data on the monthly

average number of recipients participating in each subsidized or otherwise sponsored work activity exclusive of training and education activities, and the average number of hours engaged in subsidized activities per week. Also included are systems-derived data on the number of non-exempt and exempt adult recipients, with the non-exempts divided into those that are work limited and those that are not, and the exempts divided into three categories, disability/illness, substance abuse and other (with the other category consisting primarily of caretaker situations). For those in work limited status, the duration of that status is provided. The above data is provided for each of the TANF, SNA MOE and SNA Non-MOE case types. Finally, Section (c) includes district level data on the number of persons receiving child care through the New York State Child Care Block Grant by PA status of the person, and federal and state expenditures on work activities, including Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training expenditures.

Section (d) contains data on the number of TANF, SNA MOE and SNA Non-MOE

recipients participating in unsubsidized employment and the average number of hours engaged per week, and Section (e) contains data on the number of recipients in training and education activities, and the average number of hours engaged per week.

Data Sources for Work Activities

The data source for work activity counts and hours in the activities varies by case

category and region. For the rest of state region (all districts excluding New York City) all information on activities and hours regardless of case category is derived from the Welfare Reporting and Tracking System (WRTS), which receives data from the Welfare to Work Caseload Management System (the rest of state system for administering work programs) and the Welfare Management System (WMS, the State’s main eligibility system). For New York City and the State as a whole, TANF and SNA MOE information is derived from the quarterly disaggregated data reports submitted by New York State to the US Department of Health and Human Services for the purposes of reporting and calculating federal work participation rates. These reports contain detailed data on a representative sample of TANF and SNA MOE cases, and are the only source of New York City and thus statewide data on federal work activities. It is important to note that because New York City and statewide activities data are sample-based in the TANF and SNA MOE instances, while activities for non-New York City districts are from systems data, the New York City and rest of state figures in these case categories will not sum to the statewide total. For SNA Non-MOE cases, the New York City data is based on reports submitted by the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA), and the statewide data is a sum of the WRTS-derived data for the rest of state region and the reports submitted by HRA.

Summary of Section (c), (d) and (e) Data Work Activities

An estimated3 monthly average of 8,173 TANF recipients, 4,122 SNA MOE recipients and 59,083 SNA Non-MOE recipients participated in subsidized or otherwise sponsored work

3 Work activity numbers are estimates both because the TANF and SNA MOE numbers are derived from sample and because a person may participate in more than one activity.


activities (including subsidized public and private sector employment, work experience, on the job training, job search/job readiness training, community service, child care provider for a community service participant, substance abuse and other treatment activities). The statewide average hours of participation per week in these work activities were 12 and 12 for the TANF and SNA MOE recipients, respectively. The rest of state SNA Non-MOE recipients averaged 16 hours per week in these work activities (New York City HRA does not report hours in work activities for SNA Non-MOE recipients, as they only report persons in activities if they meet or exceed the hours required). Also, an estimated monthly average of 22,708 TANF recipients 13,431 SNA MOE and 5,440 SNA Non-MOE recipients participated in unsubsidized employment, with average weekly hours of 26, 29 and 18 (the latter rest of state only) for each case type respectively. An estimated monthly average of 4,326 TANF recipients, 1,479 SNA MOE and 4,074 SNA Non-MOE recipients participated in training or educational activities (including vocational education, job skills training, employment-related education and school attendance). The average number of hours per week participants spent in education and training activities was 17 and 15 hours for TANF and SNA MOE cases respectively, and 14 hours for rest of state SNA Non-MOE recipients.

Exemptions and the Work Limited

A monthly average of 24,794 TANF, 10,265 SNA MOE and 91,153 SNA Non-MOE adults

were exempt from work activities (this is exclusive of the work limited persons discussed below). This represents 35.6%, 25.7% and 60.5% of the TANF, SNA MOE and SNA Non-MOE populations, respectively. For the TANF and SNA MOE caseloads, most exemptions fell within the illness/disability category and the “other” category, the latter of which consists primarily of persons exempt because they are a caretaker of a disabled family member, and the exemptions were about evenly split between these categories. Relatively few fell into the substance abuse category. For SNA Non-MOE, most (46,164 or 50.6% of the exempt) fell into the illness/disability category, and an additional 9,994 (11.0% of the exempts) fell into the substance abuse category. The remaining 34,996 (38.4%) fell into “other”, which in the SNA Non-MOE category consists mostly of exemptions due to advanced age.

In order to assess the amount of time recipients remain in work limited (as opposed to

exempt) status, we examined all adults coded as work limited at the end of the report period (June 2014) and looked backwards to see the consecutive number of months they had been in that status. Of the 16,817 adult recipients classified as work limited in that month (3,047 in TANF 3,506 in SNA MOE and 10,264 in SNA Non-MOE), 30.0% were classified work limited for 0 to 3 months, 24.4% for 4 to 6 months, 23.2% between 7 and 12 months, and the remaining 22.3% for 13 months or more.

Child Care

During the report period, a monthly average of 132,709 children received subsidized child

care under the New York State Child Care Block Grant, 70,520 in PA and 62,189 in the low income category.

Expenditures

Federal, state and local expenditures in support of work activities totaled $404,795,737

for the October 2012 to September 2013 period (Federal Fiscal Year 2013), including $178,266,080 in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training funds. The Federal Fiscal Year 2013 data is used, as opposed to the report period, to coincide with required expenditure reporting periods.

Section (f): Sanctions

Section (f) provides statewide and district level data on the monthly average number of

recipients in sanction status, the type of sanction, the number of recipients that complied, and the average days to compliance in TANF, SNA MOE and SNA Non-MOE cases. The monthly average number of sanctioned persons for the report year was 24,682, which represents about 9.3% of the 264,976 monthly average number of adult recipients for the period. Most (17,975 or


72.8%) of these sanctioned persons had an employment-related sanction. Each month, an average of 1,934 persons complied with requirements and ended their sanction. The average length of time to compliance for these persons was 142 days.

Section (f) also provides district level and statewide data on the number of sanction-

related and work activity-related (the two overlap) fair hearings requested, the number of hearings held, and the outcomes of these hearings, for the full report year.4 These data are reported separately for total PA, FA and SNA cases. Readers of this section should note that the numbers reported are based on issues addressed, not hearings per se: more than one issue can be addressed at a hearing, and separate issues addressed at the same hearing can have different outcomes. Readers should also note that for this report year we have added tables for a new disposition type, Issues Settled. These tables count issues settled through the Pre-Hearing Disposition process, where the agency and clients settle the issue without a formal hearing.

For the purposes of economy of presentation, Section (f) also contains fair hearings data

on work-related issues, since these overlap with sanction-related hearings and follow a similar format. Also included in this section are data on the number and outcomes of administrative disqualification hearings, i.e., hearings initiated by districts.

Due to the large number of tables in the fair hearings section, they will not be

summarized here. Readers should note, however, that outcome numbers will not sum exactly to hearing numbers since some issues initiated during the report year may still have been pending at the end of the report year, and issues from the previous year may have been resolved in the current year.

Section (g): Case Closings

All data available to meet the requirements of this section were presented in Section (b),

except for data on transitional Medicaid receipt. Here we report statewide and district level data on the percentage of persons from closed “family” cases (TANF or SNA MOE cases) that were Medicaid eligible in the sixth and thirteenth month following case closing, in the situation where those persons have not returned to assistance. We are reporting data for the second quarter (April to June) of 2014. For the state as a whole, 63% percent of persons closed in these case types are Medicaid eligible six months later, and 56% thirteen months later.5

Section (h): Substance Abuse Treatment Programs

Section (h) provides the monthly average number of TA persons residing in Congregate

Care Level II drug and alcohol treatment facilities during the report period. This information is provided at the district level and by TANF, SNA MOE and SNA Non-MOE case type. For the report year, the monthly average number of persons receiving treatment in these facilities was 5,937, with most (5,760 or 97.0%) in the SNA Non-MOE program.

Section (h) also contains data on the duration of spells in these facilities, for persons

entering in the period from July to December 2013. For the 5,858 entrants during this period, 12.4% had a spell of one month or less, 13.4% two months, 11.4% three months, 10.2% four months, 9.0% five months and 43.6% six months or more.

4 Fair hearings outcomes described in the report are issues affirmed (i.e., the agency’s determination is deemed correct), issues reversed (i.e., where the agency’s determination is incorrect), issues withdrawn, issues correct when made (i.e., where the agency was correct at the time the decision was made, but changes in circumstances require agency action in favor of the client), issues settled (i.e., where the issues are resolved through the Pre-Hearing Disposition process) and a catch-all “other” category. 5 Results of this analysis are derived from Medicaid eligibility data in WRTS, which in turn gets it from WMS. Because of changes to the Medicaid program brought on by the Affordable Care Act and the institution of New York’s health care exchange New York State of Health, an increasing number of Medicaid cases are being moved off WMS, and thus are not available for analysis. Thus, the numbers here may slightly underestimate Medicaid receipt after TANF and SNA MOE case closing. For this reason, we will likely discontinue this measure in future reports.


Section (i): Pregnancy Prevention Programs TANF funding for pregnancy prevention programs was discontinued previous to the

report year, so those programs are no longer included in this report. Data for non-TANF pregnancy prevention programs can be obtained from the Department of Health.

Section (j): Disabled and Work-Limited Recipients

All data available to meet the requirements of this section were reported in Section (c)

above.

Section (k): Food Assistance Program The Food Assistance Program is no longer an active program.

Section (l): Domestic Violence Section (l) reports district level and statewide data for the report year on the number of

persons indicating a current danger on their domestic violence screening form, the number of persons whose domestic violence assessments showed a credible threat, the number of persons with a waiver from program requirements as a result of domestic violence, and the number of persons with new waivers granted during the year. Also reported is the number of active waivers broken down by the program requirements that are waived (e.g., time limits, employment, child support, etc.), as well as the average duration of waivers by waiver type.

For the reporting period 14,468 persons checked that there was a current domestic

violence danger to them on the screening form. During the same period, 8,367 persons underwent a full domestic violence assessment where a credible threat was confirmed, and 8,100 persons were granted waivers.6 For the report period 10,451 persons had domestic violence waivers, including persons whose waivers were granted previous to the report year. These persons had a total of 19,004 active waivers during the report year. The number of waivers exceeds the number of persons with waivers because waivers are specific to the requirement for which the waiver is granted, not a blanket exception from all program requirements. That is, a single domestic violence victim can have more than one waiver, say for instance if the person is exempted from both child support and work requirements. Note also that the number of active waivers for the year, like the number of persons with active waivers, includes those carried over from previous years.

Most domestic violence waivers were granted either from the requirement to cooperate in

the establishment of child support (10,888), or from the requirement to participate in employment activities (7,204). Waivers active during the period averaged five months in duration.

6 Note that the percentage of domestic violence interviews that result in a credible threat cannot be determined by taking the ratio of interviews that result in a credible threat to the number of persons indicating a current danger. This is because some of the difference between the number indicating a threat and the number where a credible threat was found is due to the client electing not to proceed to the interview stage.
