Each year, millions of individuals, families, and small businesses eligible for public benefits or services fail to receive the support to which they’re entitled as a result of administrative burdens – the time, stress, and resources it takes to complete required applications and processes. IGP Faculty Advisory Board Member and Associate Professor of International and Public Affairs, Alex Hertel-Fernandez, participated in a webinar hosted by The Scholars Strategy Network and Washington Center for Equitable Growth on how academics can write comments to the federal government to reduce administrative burdens.
