Clearinghouse Review Article on Technological Barriers to Public Benefits Administration
The July-August issue of Clearinghouse Review includes an article entitled "Increasing Automation in State Computer Systems: Preventing Technological Barriers to Successful Public Benefits Administration," which argues that "new computer systems in several states have created serious barriers for applicants, and designing technology that works accurately across benefit programs has proven to be a challenge." Also included in the same issue is an article by Peter Edelman entitled "A Challenge for Lawyers: What We Must Do to End Poverty and Reduce Inequality." (A subscription to Clearinghouse Review is required to view both articles.) -M
