And benefits like these are a brachah but not deserved
Whether or not anyone “deserves” a benefit is a red herring. Who “deserves” anything? The basis of the U.S. government, the Constitution, explicitly states that the purpose of the government is to, among other things, “promote the general Welfare.” Poverty and hunger, particularly among children who cannot choose who their parents, are not good for the welfare of the nation.
