$43K is max payout in all forms of welfare and assistance and the cost to administer those programs for an individual taking full advantage of all state and federal programs available. So W amount is welfare money, X amount is health insurance/Medicare/Medicaid, Y is WIC/food stamps, Z for education/job training, etc. Not necessarily the true cost of gov. assistance per individual since most people on assistance do not qualify for every program out available nor completely try to take advantage of the system.
