Dr. Kara McGann:

It is where a person can only work for three days of the week to retain benefits, whereas if a person worked the same hours over, let us say five days, those benefits are lost. It is a bit of an anomaly within the system that would free up more workers immediately. Talking to the workers themselves the sense we get is that most would take on up to three extra hours, which would release another million care hours into the system if that hours versus days approach within the social welfare system was adjusted.
