A planned 10% hike to cash assistance programs for low-income parents, as well as elderly and disabled people, is on the chopping block as part of mid-fiscal year state budget cuts.

Deborah Harris of the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute and April Jennison, organizer for the Coalition for Social Justice, join Radio Boston to discuss what this means for program recipients.

This segment aired on January 17, 2024.
