Social Welfare Law refers to the legal framework that governs the provision of social services and benefits to individuals and families in need. This area of law aims to ensure that vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, disabled, and low-income individuals, receive support through programs like Medicaid, food assistance, and housing subsidies. These laws are designed to promote social justice and protect the rights of those who may be marginalized or disadvantaged. They also establish the responsibilities of government agencies and organizations in delivering these services, ensuring that assistance is accessible and equitable for all eligible citizens.
