Personal Reemployment Accounts: Simulations for Planning Implementation Christopher J. O’Leary and Randall W. Eberts W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research 300 South Westnedge Avenue Kalamazoo, MI

1. Introduction  Back to Work Incentive Act of 2003 (HR 444)  $3.6 billion nationwide budget for 2 years  Budget allocations based on share of unemployment  Federal to state ($85.3 million to Georgia)  State to Service Delivery Regions (SDR)  Assume service use patterns in Georgia under WIA  Zero, one, and two-week duration impacts imputed

2. Simulated PRAs for Georgia under HR 444  Top WPRS profiled (neither union hiring hall, nor standby)  Eligible for at least 20 weeks of UI benefits  PRA uniform offer of up to $3,000  Can purchase intensive, supportive and training services  Cash bonus (60%) for reemployment within 13 weeks  Cash bonus (40%) after 6 months continuous reemployment  No second bonus if services purchased after first bonus  UI exhaustees may draw weekly support payments from PRA  Top 30% of profiling distribution 5 quarters of WIA: 46,855

9. Summary of Results  With Georgia grant of $85.32 million, if every PRA recipient spent the entire $3,000 grant, then:  28,440 offers over two years  With bonuses, purchases of services, and extended UI type payments assuming a 100% acceptance of PRA offers, then:  $3,000 offered to top 30%, 34,473 offers over two years with no response  One and two week duration responses would permit 33,924 and 33,446 offers  Excluding payment of remaining PRA funds to UI benefit exhaustees  70% more offers could be made (58,760)  Under a pure bonus PRA (free services and no exhaustee payments)  138% more offers could be made (82,038)  Sensitivity of results to prices for services (Appendix spreadsheet)  Doubling prices reduces offers possible by only 20%  Halving prices increases offers possible by about 20%

10. Extensions  Could customers pay for their preferred bundle of services under PRA?  With bonuses less than 1% have a budget shortfall  Without bonuses (services only) about 0.5% have a budget shortfall  Setting the bonus as 10 times the WBA with a minimum of $1,500  Permitted more bonus offers  May have smaller distortions for low wage workers  Allocations for PRAs within states to SDR  A uniform WPRS score cutoff cannot be applied state-wide  Unemployment rate and insured unemployment shares differ  Entry and Displacement Effects  Should be reduced by targeting offers using WPRS  Wage effects of early reemployment  No effects in bonus experiments requiring 4 months reemployment  An increased risk given immediate payment of 60% upon reemployment
