Welfare programs are "means tested," i.e., participants' income and asserts must be less than the relevant threshold: e.g., TANF (f/k/a AFDC); SNAP (food stamps); Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program; public housing; subsidized [private] housing; Women, Infants and Children's (WIC) program; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); Low Income Household Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). TANF, SNAP, SSI and Medicaid are "entitlement programs," i.e., the Federal and/or State government must ensure that every eligible applicant receives the benefits to which they are entitled. Please note: "regular" Social Security, Medicare, workers compensation and unemployment compensation are not welfare programs.
