The objective of this workgroup is to coordinate state researchers in their efforts to measure the outcomes of benefits counseling, such as changes in employment rates, earnings levels, and use of work incentives.  The group discusses possible data sources, analysis strategies, and approaches for modeling the impact of benefits counseling services.  MIG-RATS staff facilitate the discussions, support and assist the group in accessing information, and develop tools that can be used in future research.  However, the focus and direction of research efforts are based on the goals of state participants.

 

The benefits counseling outcomes workgroup meets via teleconference approximately every six weeks. Meeting notes and workgroup products are posted below.  The workgroup is available to all interested MIG staff.  To find the next scheduled meeting of the workgroup, check the calendar or contact Anne Reither at areither@gmail.com.
