The vast majority of families on Work First time limits are making it off welfare. Each month, more families are placed on the time clock. These families then receive intensive employment services, such as workshops in applying for jobs, help in looking for jobs, job skills training, literacy and basic skills education, and counseling.
Families also get help with child care and transportation.
Of the original 7,853 families placed on the timeclock, only 328 will lose benefits as the result of the expiration of the two-year time clock. These 328 families will receive their last check on July 1. County social services offices have been working hard to help families beat the clock. They'll continue to get Medicaid and food stamps. They can get help wiht child care if they need it.
