Federal Benefits Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a direct federal benefit and a block grant?
Direct federal benefits (like Social Security or VA Disability) are administered by federal employees with identical standards nationwide. Block grants (like TANF, LIHEAP, and Medicaid) transfer funds to state governments, which set local rules and administer applications.
How do federal agencies verify household income?
Most federal agencies utilize electronic data hubs connected with the IRS, Social Security Administration, and state wage reporting databases to verify earnings and tax filings directly.
