welfare support
Government help programs
Welfare support is government assistance provided to people in financial need—programs like food stamps, housing subsidies, unemployment benefits, and cash payments.
The phrase is somewhat redundant, as welfare itself implies support, but it emphasizes the helping function: The family relied on welfare support after the factory closed.
