Homelessness: A Post-Industrial Society Faces A Legislative Dilemma, Robert W. Collin, Daniel J. Barry
Akron Law Review
In American social welfare history, the intent with which one became poor has determined their eligibility for aid from the state. This intent has never been clearly labeled as such. Rather, it has taken the form of equating intentional poverty with those "voluntarily in need," not truly needy or "willfully unemployed."

Welfare Law In California, Peter E. Sitkin
Cal Law Trends and Developments
In California, over 1,500,000 people are dependent on public assistance for all or part of their means of subsistence. To provide aid to these individuals, a large and complex bureaucracy has developed over the years that expends more than a billion dollars a year, and is governed by an evergrowing set of federal, state, and local rules and regulations.

Aid To Families With Unborn Dependent Children: May The States Withhold Benefits?, Michigan Law Review
Aid To Families With Unborn Dependent Children: May The States Withhold Benefits?, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This note will examine whether the duty to provide aid to unborn children should be imposed on all states participating in the AFDC program. It will first consider the argument that denying such benefits violates the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment, but the bulk of the note will be devoted to an interpretation of the relevant provisions of the Social Security Act. The statutory analysis requires several steps. First, it is necessary to examine and interpret the cases in which the Supreme Court has analyzed the legitimacy of state-imposed eligibility conditions. The focus will then shift to the …
