Exploring how public welfare programs really work on the ground — a practical look at administering help in Atlanta and Georgia, with lessons for better efficiency and fairness.
This volume presents a series of hearings that examine local and state practices, the rules that guide them, and the challenges faced by workers who deliver aid. It sheds light on how policies translate into everyday service, where problems arise, and what changes might improve outcomes for recipients.

Excerpt from Problems in Administration of Public Welfare Programs, Vol. 3: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Fiscal Policy of the Joint Economic Committee, Congress of the United States, Ninety-Second Congress, Second Session; June 6, 7, and 8, 1972
We must try to ascertain if it is possible to simplify and streamline the administration of these programs without first simplifying the eligibility requirements and benefit conditions.
Any program, no matter how well administered, can have instances of fraud, ineligibility, and error. SO we expect to learn that some workers have encountered some fraud and made some errors them selves. The real question, however, is at what cost, given this complex ity, can the system be run so that a balance is achieved between ad ministrative control and fairness to the recipient. And, can anyone accurately and fairly administer a system with so many items to check, so many conditions for eligibility, and so many overlap-ping programs?
