Playing the Game”
Administrative burden can impede access to programs for individuals with diminished material and cognitive resources. Research shows that individuals may respond to burdens differently—they are either deterred, express grievances, seek information, or leverage relationships and resources to access benefits. This work overlooks disabled Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients, an important vuln…
“I Used to Get WIC . . . But Then I Stopped”
This study examines how individuals assess administrative burdens and how these views change over time within the context of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), which provides food to pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under age five. Using interview data from the Baby's First Years: Mothers' Voices study (n. = 80), we demonstrate how the circumstances of family life, shifiing f…
In Pursuit of Equitable Access in Federal Food and Nutrition Assistance Programs
It’s Like Night and Day”
Research characterizes public assistance programs as stigmatizing and stressful (e.g., psychological costs) but obscures differences across programs or the features of policy design that contribute to varied bureaucratic encounters. Using 83 interviews with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and Medicaid beneficiaries, and 60 interviews with staff from t…
I Can't Get Ahold of Them
Using data from 113 in-depth interviews with beneficiaries of social welfare programs, I examine the ease of access to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); and Medicaid during the COVID-19 pandemic. Policy changes that were enacted in response to COVID-19 were explicitly designed to reduce the administrative burden of program participati…
I don’t know nothing about that’
Scholars have focused on administrative burden or the costs of claiming public benefits. Learning, psychological, and compliance costs can discourage program participation and benefit redemption. Using 60 in-depth qualitative interviews with participants of the SNAP and WIC programs, we offer thick descriptions of how beneficiaries experience compliance, learning, and redemption costs—a subset of learning costs regarding how to redeem benefits—am…
User needs and the building blocks of regulation
Although co-design is acknowledged as an emerging tool in public administration for use in program or service system design, it has not been widely applied to complex policy spheres, such as law and regulation. In the context of policy development for the field of social enterprise, we explored the use of co-design as a facilitation method to elicit end-users’ experience of regulation and to generate options for reform. Specifically, this involve…
It Was Actually Pretty Easy”
In recent years, scholars have examined the barriers to accessing public assistance benefits. Research identifies learning, compliance, and psychological costs as deterring program use. Compliance costs reflect the burdens of following program rules, which may entail providing documentation, responding to discretionary demands of bureaucrats, or attending appointments to maintain benefits. Studies identify one element of compliance costs—quarterl…
It Takes a While to Get Used to
Scholars have examined how administrative burden creates barriers to accessing public benefits but have primarily focused on the challenges of claiming benefits. Less is known about the difficulties beneficiaries face when using public benefits, especially voucher-based public assistance programs. I argue that the costs of learning how to redeem benefits can discourage program use and undermine policy goals. To enrich the administrative burden fr…
Puttin' Eyes on a Horse
This article examines how Thoroughbred trainers in Kentucky learn, experience, and practice the embodied tradition of horsemanship within the economically declining and ethically fraught American horse racing industry. I explore how horsemen are inculcated into this tradition of agrarian masculine knowledge in orientations and attunements. I also consider how the particular practice of “puttin’ eyes on horses” evokes affective tones and ties betw…
Kentucky Kindling
This is a story about my family and "the farm." Drawing on experimental ethnography and Southern gothic literature, it is also an allegory about a heated eroding present. It slowly builds, like a fire, layering scenes of ordinary life with hallucinatory stories that flare up on the landscape. Historical hauntings and multiple ominous horizons. How things were and are. How things coulda been different. This both taps into and troubles the life and…

Policy feedback scholarship has focused on how laws and their implementation affecteitherorganizations (e.g., their resources, priorities, political opportunities, or incentive structures)orindividuals (e.g., their civic skills and resources or their psychological orientations toward the state).

They Are Underpaid and Understaffed
Scholars have explored the nature and consequences of administrative burden but less is known about how citizens interpret costly encounters with the state. This qualitative study of 85 child care subsidy recipients applies attribution theory from psychology to illustrate how clients develop causal explanations for administrative burden. The findings show that clients either blamed negative experiences on bureaucrats—viewing workers as in control…

An Experiment with Coffee Production by Kenyans, 1933-48
The economic impact of Britain's colonial policy in Kenya has received considerable attention in recent years especially within the framework of underdevelopment. European settlement in Kenya was accompanied by government support which evolved to provide monopolies such as those for production, purchase, and export of profitable primary products; control of high-potential land; and access to labor and government services. In particular, the work …
