| Program/Policy Description |
This study examines application procedures and practices for four federal benefit programs — TANF, Food Stamp Program (FSP), Medicaid, and SCHIP — in six local sites across the country. Of special interest is how systemic or administrative factors embedded in various application processes may generally facilitate or exacerbate access to benefits by eligible families, and, in particular, eligible immigrant and/or limited English speaking families.
