From page 104...
... Nevertheless, evaluations of the effects of particular model components are unportant to pursue, as is the development of microsimulation models designed to facilitate validation exercises. PARTICIPATION FUNCTIONS FOR SSI, AFDC, AND FOOD STAMPS IN TR1M2, MATH, AND HITSM A critical aspect of the simulation of means-tested transfer programs such as AFDC, SSI, and food stamps in microsimulation models involves the participation decision.
