In the context of the steady increase in government spending for social welfare in recent years, the accomplishments & problems of income maintenance programs are examined. These programs mainly serve to reduce poverty, provide stability in household income, & increase access to food, shelter, & health care. However, there are significant variations in benefits by virtue of differences in state welfare policies. Income maintenance programs may discourage work & may lower savings efforts. Recommendations for reforming these programs are considered. 8 Tables, 4 Charts. Modified HA.

Government spending for social welfare purposes has grown rapidly in recent years as new programs have been enacted and the benefit levels and eligibility requirements in existing programs have expanded. This chapter examines the accomplishments and problems of the income maintenance programs that attempt to guarantee income security—an acceptable and stable standard of living. These programs reduce poverty, facilitate access to essential goods and services, and cushion disruptions in household income flows. However, they deal differently with people having the same needs but different charateristics, and they discourage work. Some suggestions are offered for reforming income maintenance programs that can correct some of the deficiencies of current programs while preserving their accomplishments.
