(WASHINGTON) - An examination of six key federal programs for low-income people found wide variances in eligibility requirements and discrepancies in the level of benefits they provided, the Government Accountability Office said.
Together, the six programs distributed $540 billion of benefits in a single year. GAO reviewed the Earned Income Tax Credit, Medicaid, Housing Choice Voucher program, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps), Supplemental Security Income, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
