- 요약While policymakers tend to focus on the dollar amount families receive in benefits when discerning policy effectiveness, my dissertation calls needed attention to how benefit program design and implementation matter beyond amount. Chapter 1 investigates how mothers with low incomes (n=45) and their romantic partners arrange their finances in the context of an unconditional cash transfer program that targets mothers. We show that mothers perceived full control over the cash transfer, which differed from other sources of financial support from both romantic partners and kin. This cash transfer offered mothers a source of power amidst their financial vulnerability. Chapter 2 examines the influence of pandemic-induced SNAP policy changes on SNAP enrollment. I demonstrate how the reintroduction of procedures to certify eligibility among SNAP households decreased SNAP enrollment. This highlights the importance of legislative decisions in influencing program participation rates, which adds to the growing literature suggesting that increasing administrative burdens lowers program participation. Chapter 3 explores the ways in which public library staff (n=21) practice discretion when assisting library patrons with social services. Findings reveal that library staff make decisions about the extent to which they are willing to help patrons based on their perceptions of patrons' needs. This discretion may contribute to the reproduction of inequalities in policy implementation, as their subjective conceptualizations of need could determine who gets more help than others. Together, these papers contribute to our understanding of the ways in which benefit implementation processes shape the experiences of those navigating them, as well as the efficacy of social safety net policy.
