Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of employment and government financial aid (Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) program) status upon well being over time among people receiving financial assistance. The ability to view changes over time in this new post-TANF period enhances the knowledge base by providing further understanding of the mental health challenges faced by current TANF recipients and income wage earners no longer dependent on TANF. Contrasts within TANF status and good/bad-paying job status uncovered similarities and differences within this population. Findings demonstrated significantly higher scores on perceived control and happiness for those employed than those who continued to receive TANF. Those with good paying jobs had significantly lower levels of depression than those making less than $1,000.00 per month.
