I guess then my question is, let us say you have someone who is a single mom with a couple of children, and she is on the program for 2 years and has been in job search and doing things that are required under the temporary employment assistance part. She hits her 2-year limit and then is required, to continue on with those benefits, to work. Now, my understanding from the participation requirements is that 30 percent of your caseload would be in that situation, is that correct, in the year 1996? So you are talking about 30 percent would be in this transition program, temporary program, and then would eventually get into the block granted work program? Is that your understanding?
