THE PERSISTENCE OF POVERTY IN THE CONTEXT OF FINANCIAL INSTABILITY: A BEHAVIORAL PERSPECTIVE (2015, background): “EITC refunds, for example, can now be split into a sum that goes into savings for a rainy day or toward a big, one-time purchase, or to pay down debt (Romich & Weisner, 2000).”
Dignity and Dreams (2015, background): “In the mid-1990s, Romich and Weisner (2000) interviewed 42 low-income, single-parent families who were participating in a welfareto-work program about how they used their EITC and what benefits they felt they derived from it.”
