An example of a social welfare program in the US is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides assistance to low-income individuals and families to purchase food. Eligibility is based on income and household size, and benefits are distributed through Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards that can be used like debit cards at approved retailers.

Why did public protests against President Reagan's cut to social programs fail to impact public policy?

The answer to this requires the name of a specific social program. And, most importantly the term "cut" must be defined. That is because there is sometimes confusion between a cut in funding a social program, the elimination of a social program or a cut in the request for a specific increase in funding a social program. The latter instance perhaps requires an example. If the US Congress, for example, votes to increase the annual payout of Social Security benefits by 6%, and the US president wishes to have that increase to be only 3%,, proponents of the 6% increase will say the US president wants to "cut" spending on Social Security in half. That would be a distortion of reality.

Can a us child living in another country still get government assistance?

Your answer is somewhat vague. So, I am not sure if you are talking about benefits like social security, or something along the lines of welfare. Welfare: I am not sure, but I would think that welfare benefits would be discontinued if a minor child were living outside the US. Social Security Benefits: A minor child may receive benefits while living in another country with his or her parent(s) or legal guardian. For example, if a minor child is living in the Philippines with his or her parent(s) or legal guardian there, they can, and will receive benefits under the parent's or guardian's social security number.
