A primary goal of welfare reform was to overcome welfare dependency through the promotion of work and the setting of lifetime limits. While at first blush this goal may have appeared reasonable for young recipients, it does not address the needs of older recipients, particularly women. Based on in-depth interviews with welfare recipients in four im...
At the end of the last century, the U.S. embarked on a large-scale social experiment to restructure the welfare system. The passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) by the U.S. Congress in 1996 marked an enormous shift in the institutional arrangements of social welfare policy, affecting the form and s...

This article compares the assumptions of welfare reform with the way the program is actually implemented to show the underlying contradictions in the way policy is politically justified and implemented. The results of focus group discussions with women on welfare in four rural Appalachian Ohio counties demonstrate the disparities between the top-do...

... With full acknowledgment of the complex diversity in and across rural communities in the United States, we propose that the aforementioned sociospatial and economic aspects of rurality may uniquely impact how rural individuals think about and interact with the mental health care system. Drawing on Ann R. Tickamyer and Debra A. Henderson's (2003) attention to the "deepseated local affiliations and loyalties" of rural women in the United States (p. 112; see also Walker and Logan 2018), we recognize that a shared, lived experience of place-the "local affiliation" and all it signifies-is likely significant for establishing rapport between rural patients and their rural mental health providers. ...
... Phillipson and Scharf 2004), too often older adults on low incomes are ignored in poverty programmes (Rissanen and Ylinen 2014). In reforming welfare states, it is important to give voice to people who will be or are affected by these reforms (Henderson and Tickamyer 2008). As Lister (2007Lister ( , 2008 argues, giving financially excluded older people a voice has the potential to reduce their risk of exclusion. ...
... As Bell (2009) discussed, space considerations in policy implementation may include location, commute time, and availability of transportation. We know from past studies that the location in which public policy implementation occurs contributes to variation in implementation, given that different locations afford differences in access, resources, and opportunities (Tickamyer, White, Tadlock & Henderson, 2007;Tieken, 2014). ...

... Though healthcare bureaucracy in the U.S. requires most people to wait for care, how long people wait, how waiting is structured, and the consequences of waiting vary. People who do not have access to insurance or other resources must endure state and federal evaluations of their low-income statuses, abilities to work, severities of illness, citizenship, and more to qualify for assistance (Tickamyer et al., 2000). As funding for social programs like Medicaid, food stamps, and disability are rolled back and work requirements become stricter, demonstrating qualifications to obtain support is increasingly difficult and time consuming (Whittle et al., 2017). ...
