- Title
WELFARE FAMILY CAPS AND THE ZERO-GRANT SITUATION.
- Authors
Dinkel, Christopher
- Abstract
The article discusses welfare family caps in the U.S. The history of welfare and welfare reform in the U.S., as well as the history of welfare family caps are explored. It examines the maximum family grant (MFG) rule, CalWORKs' family cap, and the zero-grant situation, in which families' monthly welfare grants have no value due to a family cap, even though their capped children technically are welfare participants. Other topics analyzed are the use of family caps on public policy grounds and the legal challenges to family caps.
