Burdens such as excessive paperwork, difficult reenrollment procedures, and complicated applications can prevent otherwise eligible people from obtaining the benefits they need. These types of burdens can be particularly challenging to those from underserved communities. States, practitioners, and the federal government have all turned their attention to the complex systems and “time taxes” that individuals, families, and even small businesses navigate as they try to access the programs and services that can grow the middle class.
Please join a discussion with the Center for American Progress, the associate administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the White House Office of Management and Budget, and a panel of experts on best practices for reducing administrative burden and increasing access to the services and programs individuals and their families need.
