| Abstract | Second in a series of studies examining the patterns of poverty in the South, this report analyses the level of government benefits available to the southern poor from 1980 through 1984. The examination is restricted to four programs: Aid to Families With Dependent Children, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and Supplemental Security Income. The states included in the study were Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Maryland. Almost one and a half million recipients of these programs in the South were removed from their rolls from 1980 to 1984. The largest segment of the population to be eliminated from the poverty programs was children. Many who continued to receive aid fell deeper into poverty. Changes in public assistance have contributed to increases in the number of poor in the South, have increased their hardships, and deepened their poverty. Further reductions in government assistance in the next few years run the risk of increasing poverty above the remarkably high levels that have been established in the last four years and of establishing an irreversible decline of the poor who may never be able to escape such an underclass.
