Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cash transfers are programs that provide money directly to individuals, allowing them to decide how to spend it. Social Security, EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit), and TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) are examples of cash transfer programs. In contrast, in-kind transfers provide goods or services directly, such as Medicare and Medicaid (healthcare services), SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly food stamps), and housing assistance, which provide specific benefits rather than cash.
