Welfare Benefit Simplification
also known as Universal Benefit, Single Benefit, Core Benefit, Single Core Benefit
With the general complexity of welfare systems, there are occasional requests for simplification of welfare systems.
The general aim is to head towards a simple system of benefits. This may also include a simplified system based on the individual rather than on identifiable groups reflecting the reasons for welfare assistance (e.g., unemployed, incapacity).

Famous quotes containing the words welfare and/or benefit:
“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
“Your children get a lot of good stuff out of your work...They benefit from the tales you tell over dinner. They learn from the things you explain to them about what you do. They brag about you at school. They learn that work is interesting, that it has dignity, that it is necessary and pleasing, and that it is a perfectly natural thing for both mothers and fathers to do...Your work enriches your children more than it deprives them.”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
