What's Included in "Welfare?"

From Daniela, the following question:

I am trying to figure out what exactly do you include in your "welfare" section. Would you mind elaborating as to what is included in this section?

The simple answer is: Go to usgovernmentspending.com and turn on codes. It's one of the settings in the Units dropdown. Or click here.

When you select codes you can see the description of each code by hovering the mouse over the code.

But here are the codes used in the Welfare section, with their descriptions alongside so you don't have to go click here.  The numeric codes, e.g. "603", are federal;  the codes starting with a letter, e.g. "E77", are state and local.
