HEW officials describe the pilot as admin process testing while early New Jersey data show tax rates influence recipient behavior.

How a $3686 subsidy affected family work hours
A study compares families guaranteed 3686 dollars yearly with no subsidy. With a 50 percent tax rate and 2000 dollars earned, the subsidy shields half of earnings, keeping overall income near 3686. Experimental families cut work hours about 12 percent, while income stayed similar.
