Ruggles, Patricia; Moon, Marilyn
Gerontologist, v25 n2 p153-60 Apr 1985
Examines effect on the elderly of legislative changes in federal benefit programs. Notes that programs which the elderly rely on have been reduced less than those serving non-elderly, and cuts affecting the elderly are concentrated among those with 1982 incomes between $10,000 and $20,000--households above official poverty lines.
