Such supplements to earnings can create a work incentive for people on welfare. In the welfare system, states can "disregard" some proportion of earned income to enable working welfare recipients to keep more of their benefits. At least 35 states have expanded their earned income disregards beyond federal guidelines. TFP Publications Earned Income Disregards , M.

They are designed to be age-appropriate. Students discover Minnesota's agricultural past through hands-on experiences depicting changes in the home and farm during the mid-19th century. A field trip to the Kelley Farm involves students in many activities. Daily activities may include churning butter, doing laundry, pumping water, planting fields and gardens, plowing with oxen, harvesting crops and vegetables, caring for animals or making bread.
