Abstract

Passported benefits are additional benefits provided to individual or households based on a previous eligibility to a “primary” social security benefit. Although passported benefits should be easier to claim, in reality the claiming process is often cumbersome and results in low take-up. Drawing on an Israeli case study, we offer a conceptual framework to categorize and analyse the varieties of passported benefits along five dimensions: the eligibility role of primary cash benefits; automation level; legal status; type of service delivery; and the degree of decentralization. The administrative burden literature is employed to make sense of the paradox of passported benefits becoming a site for administrative burden. Using our conceptual framework and drawing on interviews with officials and claimants, we demonstrate why some passported benefits are more user-friendly while others tend to become administratively burdensome.

通往社会权利的快车道？传递的福利和行政负担

护照福利是在先前获得“主要”社会保障福利资格的基础上向个人或家庭提供的额外福利。虽然护照福利应该更容易申请，但实际上申请过程往往很繁琐，导致使用率低。根据以色列的案例研究，我们提供了一个概念性框架，从五个方面对护照福利的种类进行分类和分析:主要现金福利的资格作用;自动化水平;法律地位;提供服务的类型;以及权力下放的程度。本文运用行政负担文献来解释护照福利成为行政负担场所的悖论。使用我们的概念框架，并借鉴与官员和索赔人的访谈，我们证明了为什么一些护照福利更方便用户使用，而另一些则往往成为行政负担。
