Kathryn A. Edwards: Who deserves welfare? That’s the wrong question

The latest deal to avert a U.S. government default, with its new work requirements for welfare programs, illustrates a fundamental flaw in America’s social safety net: It’s far too focused on identifying the worthy, to the detriment of the needy.By official measures, nearly 40 million Americans are living in poverty. Yet not a single public program serves them on that criterion alone. To qualify for benefits, they must also be something else, such as old, disabled, or pregnant. Even then, access isn’t categorical: People must get through a labyrinth of multi-contingent eligibility tests, which might include anything from the size of their savings account balance to some minimum time spent on work-related activities. And if there’s a natural disaster, everything can change.Worse, different programs don’t often work together. Consider children who age out of foster care, typically at 18. The new debt-ceiling deal exempts them from the work requirements it...
