A Preliminary Report
eligible for subsidies. Only 10% of the children who are eligible for federal child care assistance in
1998 received it. 20

Next Steps
Over the next year and a half, the Rockefeller Institute of Government expects to expand this
work in several ways. First, we hope to get behind the numbers further to determine in greater detail
what kinds of programs states are spending money their money on. Where there are large funding
changes it will be useful to see if there have been significant programmatic or policy changes or if
states are simply expanding existing programs. Whenever possible, we will analyze the spending
relative to caseloads and relative to measures of need. Answering these questions does depend on
the breadth and depth of state reporting systems. Some states are much further along than others in
tracking and understanding their spending.
The second way we intend to expand this research is by getting a better understanding of the
funding streams states are using to fund their services. It will be interesting to know if they are using
TANF dollars in new areas or in areas where they might have used state dollars in the past.
Finally, we are planning to expand the work to include a total 13 states. The Rockefeller
Institute's field researchers - academics in the states who have relationships and in-depth
knowledge of state activities - - will play a key role in this work. We want to maintain this dataset to
allow us to track spending on low-income families over many years and in different economic
conditions.

Georgia, where we conducted site visits, the Rockefeller Institute of Government's field
researchers Thomas Kaplan from the University of Wisconsin and Michael Rich from Emory
University graciously provided introductions, background, and reactions. They also served as
reviewers of an earlier draft of this paper.
