An entitlement program is one in which all eligible applicants must receive all the benefits for which they are eligible; i.e., benefits cannot be reduced or denied because of budget problems, etc. An example of a non-entitlement program is subsidized housing; even if you're eligible, you will probably end up on a waiting list.
