This thesis has examined the performance of one of the federal government's welfare programs, Work Incentive. The Work Incentive Program, or WIN, is an attempt to find employment for able-bodied welfare recipients.This study has explored the record of WIN in the past and attempted to evaluate its current performance. The cost analysis of WIN shows that perhaps the program is costing more than it is saving the American taxpayer.A survey was conducted of randomly selected individuals in which they were asked their opinions on a number of items concerning welfare. Some respondents were given information as to WIN's record and asked whether or not the program should be continued. The hypothesis was that there would be no significant change in the opinions between the group given the cost analysis and the group that was not given the information.

The purpose of this grounded theory research was to determine what differentiates people with disabilities who leave Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits due to increased income from those who cannot. Fifteen individuals, former and current participants in a Medicaid Buy-In program, were interviewed. Within the context of health and disability, four theoretical propositions were identified: education, opportunity to work, interpersonal support, and secure housing. Higher benefit levels were also found to be an effective barrier for many.
