Few government programs in the United States are as controversial
as those designed to help the poor. From tax credits to medical
assistance, the size and structure of the American safety net is an
issue of constant debate. These two volumes update the earlier
Means-Tested Transfer Programs in the United States with a
discussion of the many changes in means-tested government programs
and the results of new research over the past decade. While some
programs that that experienced falling outlays in the years prior
to the previous volume have remained at low levels of expenditure,
many others have grown, including Medicaid, the Earned Income Tax
Credit, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and
subsidized housing programs. For each program, the contributors
describe its origins and goals, summarize its history and current
rules, and discuss recipients' characteristics and the types of
benefits they receive. This is an invaluable reference for
researchers and policy makers that features detailed analyses of
many of the most important transfer programs in the United States.
