Note. The sample includes children ages 5-12 at the time of the 4-year interview in families who were randomly assigned from August 1994 to February 1995. The following covariates, measured at or prior to study entry, were included in both the subgroup and interaction regression models: gender, age, race/ethnicity, marital status, high school or GED diploma, first time welfare applicant, employment prior to random assignment (RA), earnings in year prior to RA, earnings in year prior to RA squared, earnings in quarter prior to RA, Aid to Families with Dependent Children receipt prior to RA, food stamp receipt prior to RA, number of children in the household, and age of youngest child.

^aThis model includes only those considered to be at high risk of hitting the time limit (N = 295).

^bThis model includes all members with a time-limit risk index (N = 1,104).
