Welfare is a system put in place by governments and charities in the 1930s to help people in need. It provides assistance through programs like housing and food assistance. However, not all who receive welfare use the funds properly, as studies found that around 10% of welfare recipients in 2011 were using illicit drugs. Some states have implemented drug testing for welfare to help ensure funds are used responsibly, though others argue this approach is unconstitutional. The debate continues over balancing assistance for those in need with preventing misuse of welfare programs and funds.
