Abstract	This report examines implementation and impacts of Ramsey County's Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), a "work first" program. Chapter 1 lists key findings, provides an overview of the Ramsey County variant (MFIP-R) evaluation, and policy relevance of MFIP-R. Chapter 2 describes key features of MFIP-R and compares them with features of MFIP and Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFCD)/Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training program (STRIDE); explains samples and data sources used in implementation and impact analyses; and presents demographic characteristics of samples. Chapter 3 discusses implementation of the single-parent MFIP-R and compares it with implementation of MFIP in Hennepin, Anoka, and Dakota Counties. Within that chapter, Section I discusses program success in communicating a strong work first message to recipients; Section II analyzes participation in MFIP-R. Section III provides information on employment and job retention among MFIP-R recipients and characteristics of their jobs. Chapter 4 analyzes impacts of MFIP-R compared with those of AFDC/STRIDE on employment, earnings, and welfare receipt among the single-parent caseload within the first year after program entry. It compares these impacts with MFIP impacts in three urban counties. It reports on implementation and impacts of MFIP-R for two-parent families. Chapter 5 summarizes main conclusions. Appendixes are survey response analysis, data tables, and 14 references. (YLB)
