Recent scholarship from academics and government agencies shows that paperwork burdens and informational hurdles impose a real cost on people seeking to access benefits, reducing enrollment, kicking people off of programs they're eligible for, and making it hard to learn about them in the first place. And these costs perpetuate inequality and poverty.

"Biden is really the first to try to tackle this as a whole in the agencies across the executive branch," said Pamela Herd, an expert on administrative burdens at Georgetown University.

This is part of Biden's hope to restore faith in government by showing that it can work for Americans.
