welfare program
Government aid initiative
A welfare program is a government initiative providing financial assistance or services to people in need—typically the poor, unemployed, disabled, or elderly.
Common examples include food stamps, housing subsidies, and unemployment benefits.
The term carries political charge: supporters see essential safety nets, while critics invoke welfare programs to suggest dependency or waste.
