Income Maintenance Experiments:

Need To Summarize Results And

Communicate The Lessons Learned


The Office of Economic Opportunity and the
Department of Health and Human Services in-
itiated income maintenance experiments, the
first ever in the United States, to measure the
extent to which a guaranteed income would
reduce recipients' work efforts. GAO believes
the experiments were important social re-
search, but identified several problem areas
which may have affected the usefulness of
the results.

The results and many important technical and
operational planning and monitoring lessons
learned have yet to be consolidated and sum-
marized for the benefit of future researchers.

GAO believes the Congress, in authorizing sim-
ilar research, should require agencies to iden-
tify end-users and plan for the dissemination
of interim and final results.
