The General Accounting Office has issued a report about their survey of welfare data for the State of Massachusetts. While this report contains interesting data, it only measures those elderly persons who did not adequately plan prior to making application for benefits. No measurement of the individuals who properly made transfers and then received benefits was possible given the nature of this study. See
