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 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. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aEconomic security$zUnited States 606 $aIncome maintenance programs$zUnited States 606 $aEconomic security$zUnited States$xTesting 610 $agovernment policy. 610 $apoverty. 610 $aprogram evaluation. 610 $atransfer programs. 610 $awelfare. 615 0$aEconomic security 615 0$aIncome maintenance programs 615 0$aEconomic security$xTesting. 676 $a361.05 702 $aMoffitt$b Robert A.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136121303321 996 $aEconomics of Means-Tested Transfer Programs in the United States, Volume I$92281089 997 $aUNINA
