Abstract
The Family Support Act (FSA) requires states to raise welfare/work pro gram participation rates to unprecedented levels in the 1990s. This st udy analyzes Ohio's welfare/work demonstration to estimate the impact of mandated high participation on welfare caseloads. The estimated cas eload reductions are larger than earlier estimates due to high partici pation rates, an emphasis on workfare, and a multi-year observation pe riod.
