"This book is based on analyses of SNAP and UI program benefit receipt around the time of the Great Recession in six states-Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, and Texas. The introductory chapter proceeds with brief overviews of the UI and SNAP programs and an outline of the way eligibility rules permit the programs to interact. It continues with a general description of the data available for research and the national context for our state studies. Next, there is a description of the data available for the separate studies, along with contrasts drawn between these various data, followed by a graphical review of the extent of SNAP and UI program use and interaction in the study states. Finally, the authors present important results from each of the six state studies and offer some summary comments"--

The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Much attention has been given to the large increase in safety net spending, particularly in Unemployment Insurance and Food Stamps, during the Great Recession. In this paper we examine the relationship between poverty, the social and private safety net, and business cycles historically and test whether there has been a significant change in this relationship during the Great Recession. This analysis yields several important findings. First, the relationship between unemployment and official cash poverty remained remarkably consistent with historical patterns during the Great Recession. Second, the safety net programs receiving the most attention through the Great Recession (Food Stamps and UI) exhibit adjustments very consistent with their behavior during previous historical cycles. The most dramatic change in the safety net is the post-welfare reform decline of cash assistance in providing protection for the most disadvantaged. Third, changes in living arrangements are modest and for the most part in line with prior cycles. Thus on balance we find, as our title suggests, that despite the attention to the apparent differences in the responses of the private and social safety nets in the Great Recession, the relationship between cycles and economic well-being are as we would have predicted from the historical patterns.

America's Poor and the Great Recession available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. “A thorough and enlightening survey of the impact and legacy of the Great Recession on low-income Americans . . . accessible and readable.” —Journal of American Studies Millions entered poverty as a result of the Great Recession’s terrible toll of long-term unemployment. In this book, Kristin S. Seefeldt and John D. Graham examine recent trends in poverty and assess the performance of America’s safety-net programs. They consider likely scenarios for future developments and conclude that the well-being of low-income Americans, particularly the working poor, the near poor, and the new poor, is at substantial risk despite economic recovery. “[This] primer on the state of America’s poor in the wake of the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009 cuts through Beltway theater and provides a clear picture of the magnitude of poverty of the United States as well as the patchwork nature of social services targeting the poor.” —Journal of Policy Analysis and Management
