state welfare
Public aid programs
State welfare is government-provided assistance to citizens, especially financial support, healthcare, housing, or food for those in economic need.
The term often appears in political debates about the proper role of government: Should state welfare be expanded or reduced?
In American usage, state welfare may specifically mean programs administered at the state rather than federal level.
