Changes in Safety Net Use During the Great Recession
研究了家庭按收入贫困比参与社会安全网项目的变化，发现大衰退期间SNAP在低收入端、EITC在中收入端、UI在高收入端扩张最多，而TANF未扩张。
We examine how participation in social safety net programs differs by income-to-poverty levels, and how that relationship changed after the Great Recession. We define income-to-poverty based on the average of 2 years of merged CPS data, and investigate program participation among households with income less than 300 percent of poverty. We find changes in both the level and distribution of safety-net program participation during the Great Recession, with SNAP expanding most at the bottom, the EITC expanding most in the middle, and UI expanding most at the top of the income ranges that we investigate; TANF did not expand.
