United States General Accounting Office Human Resources W3shirgton, DC 20548 Division B- 197135 FEBRUARY 7,1980 The Honorable Barber B. Conable, Jr. House of Representatives Dear Mr. Conable: Subject: (Analysis of Two Studies of Quality in 'ew York City's Aid to Families with Dependent Children Progran (HRD-80-48) As requested in your December 15, 1978, letter, we have analyzed'-the studies of quality in New York City's Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) proqram made by the p /.. tate CQua1ity Control (QC) staff and the State Office of theP297 Welfare In-s9mector General (IG). Our objective was t-dter- mine if the difference between the error rate estimates in these two studies was significant and, if possible, to deter- mine which estimate was most accurate. We included this analysis in our comprehensive study of AFDC quality control, which is being done for the Senate Committee on Finance. This letter summarizes the results of our analysis of the two New York City studies. We also discussed these results with representatives from IG, )C, and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's (HEW's) Office of Family Assistance (Recion II) in December 1979 and obtained their oral comments on the matters discussed in the report. The QC and HEW regional personnel generally agreed with the results of our analysis, but IG personnel declined to comment since no report was provided for their review and analysis. In summary, the IG and OC overall error rate estimates cannot be directly compared because of differences in the time periods covered, the public assistance proorams included, and in some instances, definitions of errors.
