The documentary examines the American welfare system from the standpoint of the officials and the claimants it involves. Problems that come up include psychiatric and medical troubles, housing, divorce, unemployment, children who are abandoned or abused, and people in old age. Those who run the system and those who depend on it both struggle with the regulations that apply to them and with the task of reading those rules.
