Using the 2013 Index of Family Belonging and Rejection we explore major federal and state public policy outcomes and show that government depends on the intact family for the achievement of its stated goals. Government will likely continue to fail to achieve its goals if it continues to neglect the reality of this dependence.

Influence of family intactness on need & dependency

Family intactness is the most important factor (or shares the place of greatest importance) in determining an area's dependence on welfare programs that target organic poverty:

Receipt of food stamps,

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and state welfare transfers,

Supplemental Security Income transfers, and

Prime-age adult public healthcare recipiency.

Family intactness has the second-largest influence on overall diminishment of prime-age female, and child, poverty.
