An entitlement program is one in which all eligible applicants must receive all the benefits for which they are eligible; i.e., benefits cannot be reduced or denied because of budget problems, etc. An example of a non-entitlement program is subsidized housing; even if you're eligible, you will probably end up on a waiting list.

∙ 13y agoAn entitlement program is a system set up by a government that pays or gives certain types of benefits to people who meet certain qualifications set up in the program. Examples are Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Section 8 Housing, Methadone Maintenance, etc. As long a person meets the qualifications set by the program, such as low to moderate household income levels or minimum age requirements, that person is entitled by law to the benefits provided by that program.

Which opinion would a Republican most likely hold about entitlement programs?
Many Republicans and US taxpayers wrongly think Social Security Retirement and Social Security Disability are "entitlement" programs---- they are not. Most Republicans believe the "entitlement" programs cost the government too much money. However, most federal dollars are matching dollars or in support of State programs, such as Medicaid and SNAP. Without the Federal dollars, States would not be able to help poor, ill, disabled, and elderly. *NOTE: Most of these groups had worked before needing help, or now still work part-time as they are able and allowed under program rules. NOTE2: The amount of the typical Soc. Sec. check is not enough to live on; there are no extra dollars for anything. NOTE3: Most people pay high prices for Part D medications or part D premiums.

What are Entitlement examples?
In general, an entitlement program is funded by general revenue and requires that every eligible applicant must receive services; i.e., applicants cannot be turned away for budgetary reasons. (Of course, the program can be terminated.) Medicaid is an entitlement program. Medicare is not an entitlement because it's funded by payroll taxes, not general revenue; it's an insurance program. Public housing is not an entitlement because there's no obligation to provide services to every eligible applicant. An entitlement in the fiscal sense is any financial obligation or benefit due from the government under contract or legislation. This can include government pensions, social security, unemployment coverage, and other payments provided by law. The term is sometimes used in a narrower context to exclude pensions and other "earned" benefits. As such, it would refer to "unearned" benefits such as welfare, student grants, subsidies, housing, guaranteed medical care, or community development funds, where they are provided under government programs.
