I believe we can close this issue now. If anyone involved has further questions they're free to reopen it. |
This spreadsheet starts with @Kpinkelman's table from #148 (comment) and adds a column to exclude benefits that are counted outside
Based on this, the cash share of |
Our new intern, @Kpinkelman, did some research into which of the programs in
cps_data/benefitprograms.csv
offered cash benefits and which offered in-kind benefits. Here is a table of his results:And the spreadsheet file for those interested:

I told him to leave out Unemployment Assistance because we do not count it in the ultimate calculation of
