A qualitative study using McCracken's (1988) multistage process for data analysis examined common events leading into and out of welfare receipt for women. In semi-structured interviews, twenty female former welfare recipients who are currently human service workers discussed their experiences leading to welfare receipt and the multiple barriers they overcame to become economically self-sufficient. They discussed common paths taken in and out of the welfare system and related identity changes they underwent. Results show support for identity theory by highlighting the effects of identity development in overcoming barriers and how identity salience affects the process of identity change
