A quick definition of public benefits:

Public benefits are types of help from the government that are given to people who don't have a lot of money. They are also called welfare. Some examples of public benefits are money to help with living expenses, food assistance, and help paying for housing. Other public benefit programs include health insurance for older people and money for retired people.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Public benefits are forms of assistance provided by the government to help low-income individuals and families. These benefits are also known as welfare. Examples of public benefits include:

  • Cash benefits for income maintenance
  • SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)
  • Most forms of Medicaid
  • Section 8 Housing Assistance under the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program
  • Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance
  • Certain other forms of subsidized housing
  • Medicare
  • Social Security

Public benefits are designed to help people who are struggling financially. For example, SNAP provides assistance to help people buy food, while Medicaid helps people pay for medical care. These programs are funded by taxpayers and are intended to provide a safety net for those who need it.
