In January 2018, NRCDV released the report, "The Difference Between Surviving and Not Surviving: Public Benefits Programs and Domestic and Sexual Violence Victims' Economic Security," that outlines results of a survey of more than 1,100 respondent on the usage of public benefit programs by victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

NRCDV Radio asked the report's author, Shania Goodman, to explore the role that public benefits can play in addressing economic insecurity among domestic violence victims, and how public benefit programs can be strengthened.
